Yes You Can

Congratulations to Oak Park Public Library.

It is wonderful to a great library sign that emphasiszes what you

    can do

in the library rather than what is disallowed.

“Oak Park Public Library writes: Yes you can eat at the Library! Beginning today,June 1,2011,we will allow food in all 3 facilities. We made this change because we think it will improve the library experience of many of our customers, including parents with young children, kids and teens who visit after school, and people who use the Library for extended periods of time. There …are some limitations, including: no eating in the Silent Reading Room or Storytime Room or while using our computers. We expect this new policy to be successful, but we will monitor it and revise as necessary.

Thanks to Michael at Tame the Web for pointing to this.

    I am SO happy to see this! Thank you, Sir Stephen and your velvety awesomeness! This is the kind of positive library messaging we should ALL emulate! Look at all our DON’T Rules and re-phrase them to a more positive DO slant! Cheers!
