We’re back in
business, at the beautifully restored and rejuvenated Central Library downtown! See http://central.slpl.org/, and many pictures on various social media outlets.
There have been many
changes to the organization of the library, and this department is no
exception. We are one of a very few
departments that is still in the same room, but our holdings have changed. We no longer carry the Performing Arts –
books and magazines on music, theater, dance, movies, television, etc. Those
materials are next door in the new Entertainment, Literature, and Biography
Room. The Compact Disc collection is in
the new space called The Studio. There
they join the DVDs, Talking Books, VHS tapes, and other non-book materials.
New books have just started
to trickle in. Since we won’t be listing
the Performing Arts books, we’ll list Reference (also known as Non-Circulating)
books now that they are again accessible to you here at Central.
