Have you noticed some changes on our second floor recently? The area at the top of the stairs is now much more open featuring displays that are easily moved for performance programming, the Teen Space is clearly defined, new fiction books have more room to grow, and the Quiet Area has gotten a refresh.

We hope you enjoy our second floor reorganization!
