From the OMA Concept Book. This visualization of the library’s “programs” is the heart of the Library’s design, as confirmed by Joshua Prince-Ramus. This is the visual slight-of-hand that transposes material books into a “program.” Other programs are: operations, parking, hq, reading, attraction, living room. As groups of functionality and processes, they are very much…
Passive programs for the library (self-directed programming)
IT'S ALIVE!! Not sure what inspired this idea to begin with, but this is a program I wanted to do for awhile. This one can be a little daunting though, since there is the possibility of someone getting injured. But as long as everyone's following the rules, all of your kiddos will leave with an…

But back to the library ⦠One of the unique aspects at this library is their robust Outreach Department. A service the department provides is called Library Link in which a full-time member of the Outreach team goes out to deliver and pick up materials from all 27 schools in their district. Another remarkable part of the Westerville Public Library Outreach Department is their many services and programs for senior/older adults, from e-reader training to games to a pen-pal program with elementary school students.
Kids ages 8 to 12 are often too busy with scheduled activities of their own to make it to library programs in the afternoons or evenings.
