Our usual meeting place is at the University Inn in Moscow, but we had a change of venue for our August meeting--at the 1912 Center. Director of the 1912 Center Jenny Shenneman met with us for a brown bag pot luck lunch and gave us a tour of the waiting-to-be-renovated part of the facility afterwards.
Our purpose in meeting there was to get a feeling for the possibility of installing a permanent book sale location that would also function as a meeting place, a cybercafe, and classroom.
Our thinking is that it may be relativly easy to get a grant for this purpose and then, once in place, the bookstore would offer an on-going revenue stream that could be shared within the entire library system.
The Moscow Library virtually has no private meeting space, and it would be wonderful to have a place for meetings so close to the library. We could also have classes there on various subjects in conjunction with U of I and LCSC as well as offer computer training in a cybercafe setting.
We envision it as a great place for people to meet, have coffee, conversation, and mingle with books.
Our next meeting will be at the Troy Library, September 21 at 12 Noon.
