In all honesty I started working on assignment three about a week ago. However, due to a busy schedule, lots of marking and a bit of procrastination I never really got into the research aspect of assignment three.
I decided to address furniture and shelving. I believe that their is not enough shelving at my school library and the shelving we do have could be arranged in a more functional and user friendly way. The same goes for the furniture. With some new additions and a different arrangement, our library space would be much improved.
While I thought these would be easy and inexpensive changes I am learning tonight that this is simply not the case. Shelving is REALLY expensive! I could save money on furniture if I purchased at IKEA type stores. However, after reading some posts in LIBE 465 and 461, buying cheap furniture might cost more in the long run.
As a result of my new findings I am realizing that the amount of changes I can make will have to be limited. While I can address shelving and furniture concerns, the changes will have to be scaled back. I hope that despite the cut back, I can still create a better space for the library users of EPS.
