Feature Focus

At Your Library You may have noticed a few new outdoor features at Northland Library this spring. A

new fence has been built along the upper outdoor picnic area near the upper lot and the picnic tables have been painted.

In April, Alex Edwards, 14, of McCandless completed an Eagle Scout project and built the Library an outdoor reading area complete with a pergola and bench. Alex is a member of Troup 83 in West View and visits the library frequently. He managed the project from beginning to end securing donors who helped with materials and costs associated with the project.

The Library also now has new bike racks in both the upper and lower parking lots, new garbage cans and will soon have a large tent for outdoor events. These outdoor improvements are courtesy of the Gemma Halliday Spring Fling competition that

Northland won last spring. Patron votes were counted to de-termine how the prize money would be spent.

We are also in the planning stages for a garden which will be used for interactive programming for patrons of all ages. Stay tuned for more developments!

Patron Feedback: “Northland’s quiet study room is more than a comfortable study refuge. I used it for months when I was studying for various professional certifications required for me to perform a competitive job search. Over the weeks, I noticed who the regulars were and gradually got to know them. I discovered many of us are in the same boat, studying for various licensing, testing, and certifications for professions, graduate programs or independent studies. What is even more interesting is the distance people have traveled to inhabit our multicultural island of scholarly solitude. I learned that some of my studious companions are from China, Philippines, Iran and other places. Many are working professionals in fields such as Psychiatry, Law, Accounting, and Physical Therapy. They all have their unique stories about what led them here to pursue their dreams. Thanks to Northland Public Library, I have the opportunity to be inspired by these motivated individuals.” - Andrew Edris, Ross Township

How We WorkOur Maintenance Department is the group responsible for all the improvements to our outdoor areas including the new fence in the upper parking lot picnic area, the new bike racks and landscaping. They are responsible for maintaining both the internal and external areas of the Library, setting up meeting rooms for internal programs, and generally fixing just about anything that breaks! This team is also a tremendous help during our spring and fall book sales because they cart all of the books we sell from our storage unit into our meeting rooms. Without our maintenance crew the Library simply wouldn’t be able to operate as effectively as it does. The next time you see one of our maintenance staff, thank them for all that they do!
