1. Rachel, Reference Room, went to great length to find me resources on the geology and history of American Indians on the SW to prepare for a research trip. ABOVE and BEYOND! Thank you, Rachel.
Thank you for your kind words about Rachel. We are so glad you received the help you needed.

1. Would like the library to consider running a professional or education based clothing collection event: take donations of gently used clothes and lend or give them out to patrons in need for job interviews, presentations, school, etc.

Thank you for your suggestion. This is an interesting idea. We are reaching out to our community partners to collaborate on assessing this need in our community and how we might be able to work together to help any patrons that might need this service.
2. I think it would be cool to have a display Case for adults to display their collections in just like the kids have. Thank you for your suggestion. We will take this idea under advisement.
3. High chair and cleaning supplies for snack room. We will be placing paper towels and cleaner in the Vending Area soon. Thanks for passing along your suggestion.
Thank you for taking the time to help us improve our service to you. If suggested a title for purchase, we have passed it along to staff members who order materials.
