Yankton Community Library SD

摘要

THE CHALLENGE Jammed into approximately 15,500 square feet with space needs topping off at 35,000-40,000 square feet, according to a needs assessment, the Yankton Community Library is very busy, with terrible parking, and no additional space, said Director Katliy Jacobs (front, I.). She recalled hearing that "people called us the 15-minute stop," because there was nowhere to settle in and linger. Also, families stay away after school because the library is mobbed with older kids. On the list of what's needed: quiet reading areas, study rooms, a larger children's section, YA space, and more computers and technology. Together, those service areas could help make it a destination. Still, a bigger building would call for a new site-and investment looks unlikely in the down economy.
