Boomer Space!
The October 1, 2007 Library Hotline had a brief piece on a new library planned for Hennepin County, Minnesota. The 40,000 square foot building will replace the 15,000 square foot library built in 1987. The “flexible floor plan” includes a place for users 55 years and older. That’s the first library I’ve heard of that is planning specific space for those of the Boomer generation. Makes good sense — the group is growing every day. You may want to think about that in your library.
Did you see they also have an area on their website (http://www.hclib.org/pub/) designed for folks 55+? You can find the link to it right next to the Kids Links and Teen Links.
