Prior to this renovation, the children’s room in Joshua Hyde Public Library hadn’t seen any significant updates since it was first built in 1989, an expansion to the library, then 93 years old. The goals of this renovation were to create a brighter, more welcoming and user-friendly room that would feature their collection beautifully while also providing furnishings that meet the needs of a wide age range. Patricia Lalli, children’s librarian at Joshua Hyde Public Library, said “We were looking for the ‘Wow!’ factor and I think we succeeded!”
