Suggestions & Questions from Our Library Users
September 2017
Building-related comments
1. Need and extra handicap spot.
Perhaps you are not aware that there is a fourth handicap space on the west
side of the building, in addition to the three in front. With limited real estate,
we are unable to add more beyond the recommended and required number.
Please see staff if you need assistance. Thank you.
2. Cut the weeds! Please!
We have allocated funds in this year’s budget to start a project that will
involve refreshing our landscaping at the front of the building. Admittedly, we
have had some challenges with our native landscaping, so we are
investigating plans to either try to repurpose our current landscaping or
change the landscaping to something that is easier to maintain.
Service-related comments
1. Please refresh your sci-fi audio books selection. Most titles you have
kept have been there for years, w/o new many titles to select from. Also
keep in mind Sci-fi authors generally write novels in sequential series.
Please begin offering entire series. Not just book 3 or 4 in a series.
Thank you for your suggestions. We will pass it on to the appropriate
selector. However, if you have titles that you would like to see in our
collection, feel free to suggest specific titles at the Adult Services Desk.
2. We need yoga for adults. Please!
We have had yoga programs in the past and hope to offer them again
soon. Thanks for your interest.
3. Please bring in Tamil language books. I would recommend to place
TINKLE Comic books for all type of readers. Thanks. And I love all the
kind staff. Love you guys!
At this time, we only have a Spanish language collection. We may be
able to interlibrary loan titles for you in Tamil if you have a Warren-
Newport Public Library card. Please see staff at the Adult Services Desk
for more information about this service. And thanks for the love!
4. Jessica, thank you so much for your kindness and your smile during
my research of articles for my CDA classes. You really made my day! .
Thank you for your comments about Jessica. We agree that she’s
awesome!
5. 3D Printer Please.
Due to budget, space and staffing limitations, we do not have plans to
purchase a 3D printer at this time.
Miscellaneous-related comments
1. Craft area in coco’s cove would be fun.
We love the idea of more fun, and have been working on new activity additions
to Coco’s Cove. Watch for playful developments in the months to come!
2. New cars no longer have disc players. I have an old phone & can’t
download books on disc to phone. I have to download to thumb drive.
Can you offer books on thumb drives?
Unfortunately, books on thumb drives are not available at this time.
We are unable to copy our own collection to thumb drives as that would
be a copyright infringement.
Thank you for taking the time to help us improve our service to you.
If suggested a title for purchase, we have passed it along to staff members who order
materials.
Ryan Livergood, Executive Director
