Library Upgrades - My Changes vs. My Colleagues

I have been really interested over the past few days reading about my colleagues desired library upgrades.  Some have wanted to change the layout drastically including circulation desks and door locations.  Others have wanted to add more resources.  Some want to make technological changes.  Finally and similar to my own changes, some have wanted to add more shelving.  All of the desired changes would make a difference within libraries. I would be very curious to see exactly what impact these changes will have in the near future and years down the road.

After reading about the other upgrades, I am worried about one thing: cost.  Every one of my colleagues upgrades seem to be inexpensive while my own were approximately $6000.  While this concerns me, I do rest assured knowing that my changes will make a significant difference to my library users.  I also know that because of other recent upgrades, we have the funding to be able to support these changes.

I look forward to reading about more of my colleagues upgrades to get ideas for other changes I may want to consider making in my library space in the future.
