ful play into the public library. The St. Mary’s County (Md.) Public Library, without building a new library, created a fresh environment that encourages creative play and learning opportunities for babies, toddlers, preschoolers and school age customers. The Fort Vancouver (Wash.) Regional Library was inspired to create a 3,000sf early learning zone in their new downtown library after hosting strategic discussions with preschools, day care centers, kindergartens and home school providers. One of these ideas could work in your library. Speakers: Michelle Perera, Assistant Library Director, Rancho Cucamonga (Calif.) Library; Ruth Coates, AIA, Principal, Miller/Hull, Seattle, Wash.; Amanda Ellington, Youth Services Supervisor, St. Mary’s County Library, Lexington Park, Md.
