A big thank you to the Carman Area Foundation for funding our new reading alcove in the Children’s Library, and projector for program use.
The alcove features a custom made cabinet bench with a spacious storage unit for children’s program items. On top, we’ve added a wipeable cushion and throw pillows, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. To complete the space, we installed a beautiful watercolor mural on the walls. The alcove is equipped with lighting and an outlet for eBook use. This alcove is perfect for one person or a small group, providing a safe, comfortable place for reading. Since its installation, many children have enjoyed the alcove, reading on their own or with family, making it a beloved spot in the library.
The Carman Area Foundation has also funded a smart portable projector with built in sound, an adjustable stand, and a large portable screen. This has enhanced library programming. Check out our upcoming Creative Connection events made possible with the help of the projector use.
