Next Installment of - LIbrary Brush Up

In this latest installment of
LIBRARY BRUSH UP

In this installment of Library Brush up, we see what can be done with a dead hall that screams for a better use if it didn't already resemble a classic horror movie tempt us to scream......

       "Hmmm, I wonder what's down in that dark basement, accessed only through these old stairs...?"

Instead of a spooky space, why not make a special space?  

    In the hall add a rotating show of Greenwich Village history, whether it's the Draft Riots or Stonewall Riots,  beat poets or police on the beat, all celebrate the history and diversity of the area.

    In the other space, rather than a change machine and one lonely xerox copier, why not make a better change by adding color printers, scanners, 3D printers and computers with Photoshop software for home design and printing projects.  School age children can create Google slide presentations for classes and art projects.

Mother's can create posters for school fundraising sales, holiday cards or edit and print photos. A design center would be well used by the entire community for who among us has access to all these wonderful devices and software?

And in the tower, accessed by more stairs?

 Every step 

is a step of 

illumination and learning.

 If the user decides to take the stairs, why not make their user experience part of the library experience? 

 These stairs light as you walk.  Inlaying inscriptions of famous literary passages along each step's edge would make the trip more interesting, illuminating and less slippery too.

 So, there was then, 
                                   and then      
                                               there is
                             NOW.
                                                         What should we do?
