The 4th floor is a public laboratory and
educational facility with a focus on
information, design, technology, and the
applied arts.
The 14,000 sq foot space hosts
equipment, expertise, programs, events,
and meetings that work within this
scope.
While traditional library spaces support
the consumption of knowledge by
offering access to media, the 4th floor is
unique because it supports the
production, connection, and sharing of
knowledge by offering access to tools
and instruction.

Editor's Notes

  1. Allow your patrons the ability to build things. Fab Labs/Maker Spaces
  2. With the idea of an open play environment; people will discover new and exciting things on their own. Fact: You remember things that you discover on your own better than things told directly.
  3. Collaboration allows people to get together to discuss common interests to gain new knowledge. People will collaborate naturally if centered around something FUN!
  4. Interaction will allow your patrons to learn and grow. Interaction is necessary to maintain interest in your library’s programs, collection, etc.
  5. Innovation must be an original disruptive act. Innovation is the embodiment, combination, and/or synthesis of knowledge in novel, relevant, valued new products, processes, or services
  6. Little rolly ball toy that you can control with your smartphone. You could roll one of these little things up to people you want to engage with—maybe an easier way to approach people than walking up to them.  Attracts attention, people want to talk and know about it.  A great way to break the ice with kids and teens.
  7.  Purchase different colored paper bags o Each bag is for a different genre of book o Place Barcode number outside of bag  May have to write it o Place book inside bag, and staple it close  Gets your circ numbers up!
  8. We need YOU to help hype YOUR library! We are planning to video record student testimonials regarding the librarys resources and services and would love your input and/or testimonial. And take the video camera away from us! Record your own tour, conduct your own interviews, or do whatever you want to help hype YOUR library.
  9. Take Aways: Communicate On Their Own Level Use The Tools They Use To Talk These are your #1 Marketing Tools!
