Moveable Laptop Desks
by Lorry Traver 23 Oct '24

23 Oct '24

Good afternoon, My library is researching the possible purchase of some moveable laptop desks for patron use in our adult and youth areas. I apologize if I already sent this question out on this listserv. Could you let me know what your library has found useful, whether it be a specific laptop desk or something else? Or, if you have experienced issues with these types of desks, could you pass that information along to me? Thank you so much! -- *"I think books are like people, in the sense that they'll turn up in your life when you most need them." - Emma Thompson* *Lorry Traver (She/Her)* Public Services Librarian Brandon Township Library 248-627-1460

The Building Resilient Communities initiative is exploring ways to support library and community leaders in working together toward meaningful solutions. Check out WebJunction’s new webpage on this initiative and register for upcoming webinars where you can learn more and engage with peers on these critical topics. Inspire creativity with library arts and crafts programs<https://www.webjunction.org/news/webjunction/library-arts-and-crafts-progra…> Libraries have always been a place to go to spark imagination, and tapping into the visual and performing arts can offer community members a fresh way to engage in creative expression. From DIY crafts to creative workshops, libraries can create arts and crafts programming that helps patrons of all ages embrace their creative side. But the benefits of arts programming go beyond the artistic process itself-these programs offer a chance to create meaningful connections during a time when loneliness is at an all-time high. Arts programs have the potential to offer a remedy to isolation by offering a shared space to create, collaborate, or learn a new skill together. Read about ten ways libraries can spark creativity and connection through engaging arts and crafts programs.
