Wish all libraries could look like this

There's no doubt this is part of the library!
This wonderful looking library is the Central Library in Kansas City.

The Community Bookshelf is a striking feature of Kansas City's downtown. It runs along the south wall of the Central Library's parking garage on 10th Street between Wyandotte Street and Baltimore Avenue. The book spines, which measure approximately 25 feet by 9 feet, are made of signboard mylar. The shelf showcases 22 titles reflecting a wide variety of reading interests as suggested by Kansas City readers and then selected by The Kansas City Public Library Board of Trustees.

What to read next

I was reading the School Library Journal's e-newsletter and this article came up.  It talked about the Lawrence Public Library whose staff has created some great flow-charts for teens or YA librarians to use to find -"What to read next".  Here's a sample of one for The Hunger Games.

If you go to their website The Lawrence Public Library you can check out other great flow-charts.
