Circulation Desk design almost complete

Following an extremely busy summer we are almost finished the design of our new circulation desk. The new desk will be ADA compliant and will maximize the efficiency of our daily operations. It will also be a lot smaller than our current desk (leaving more floor space for public use).

The whole process has given us the opportunity of studying the way we do our work and investigate possible ways we can improve.
