Bright Ideas..... |
 |
*The
LMC should have more mystery books
*Be able to talk to people about a
book because some people can't make it to the morning book discussion. There
should be a spot like the igloo and a time limit to talk and compare books
with each other .
Make new suggestions either
by adding to the suggestion box on the circulation desk or on our website at
the Bright Idea
section.
