Delta North Library concerns: from the principal
Shelves are made of particle board and the weight of the books are causing the shelf pegs to bend and tear out the adjustment holes. This promotes a safety hazard when the shelves fall.
Many of the shelves are too high for students to pull off books safely. If the shelves aren’t used the used shelves become overcrowded and books are damaged more quickly, (yes book weeding is in progress).
Shelving configuration makes it difficult see and monitor student activity in the book stacks and on computers while assisting student check-out station.
Use of rolling carts as book shelves
Desire to incorporate “Maker space” outside of traffic flow areas.
