I am a bit sore from all the gardening over the last couple of days so I spent this morning at the new Walnut Creek Library. The children's room has a bug theme with caterpillar stools and insect decor. It has a stroller parking lot and lots of nooks and crannies for the kids to hide. The kids room also opens directly onto a lovely fenced in garden area.
The library is so big and the book return is hidden so they really need a greeter at least until everyone gets used to it.The Friends book store is really nice and carries some new books (maybe for discussion groups?). There is not much to distinguish between the library and the bookstore so I foresee some issues.
I stopped by the SFPL last week and their Friends book store has a section of ephemera, probably just pages from old books and magazines that were donated. What a great idea! They charged $15 for an image that most groups (especially Bonnie) would have tossed. This is what I bought. It's from a German book on human evolution from the 1880s.
