Visit to Leroy Public Library

I had the opportunity to visit the Leroy Public Library on July 18, 2008. I had a great time getting to know Rhonda Barnes and her staff and finding out about what was happening at the Leroy Public Library.
The library itself consists of two floors. The main floor contains the Information Desk, public computers, the Adult Fiction collection and the Children's area. The lower level consists of the Adult Non-Fiction collection and large tables where patrons have plenty of space to spread out work they're doing. On the day I visited, the library was buzzing with activity. The public computers were all in use and there was even a bit of a waiting line for the computers (yes, I know, no surprise!) There were also a number of patrons coming in to check out and return library materials.
One of the unique parts of the Leroy Public Library's collection is its cake pan collection. For a small fee, patrons can "check" out a baking pan in some unique shape and bake the perfect birthday or special occasion cake. I thought this was a neat service for patrons who want to make a very special cake but don't want to own a very special cake pan forever. Rhonda told me that this collection receives quite a bit of use.
I want to say thanks to Rhonda and her staff (Sharon and Kay) for making my visit so very welcoming. I felt just like one of their patrons whom they warmly welcome to the library.
