ReThinking Libraries Blog
ReThinking Libraries would not be successful without the insights and innovations that librarians, library staff, community members, and our partners share with us on a regular basis. This is how we keep our finger on the pulse of the most important library issues out there—and even better—creative solutions for addressing them. We want to make these great ideas count so watch our ReThinking Libraries blog for inspirational stories and ideas.
Project Grace: Advocating for the Library in a Complex Joint-Use Project
When New Hanover County Library System in North Carolina embarked on Project Grace, the vision was ambitious: a new downtown facility that would bring the main library and a children’s, science, and natural history museum together under one roof. For ReThinking Libraries (RTL), the project offered an unusual opportunity to help shape a shared public space while ensuring that the library’s operational and service needs remained part of the conversation.
