RYAN LIVERGOOD
Big Changes to Make Your Library Even Better!
We are making big improvements to create a more userfriendly
library experience. Our space is being redesigned to better fit
how you use it, with new areas that make browsing easier and
more enjoyable.
What is new this summer?
Ū Café Area – A convenient new space near the entrance,
perfect for reading, working, or taking a break.
Ū SelfCheckout Made Easy – We are moving selfcheckout stations to the right as you
exit, so checking out items is quicker and more convenient.
Ū Better Book Displays – Discover great reads with improved displays that highlight
even more titles.
Ū Modern Information Desks – Brand new service points designed to make interactions
with our staff even easier.
Ū Pillar Privacy Booths – Need a quiet space for a call or virtual meeting? These new
booths are a perfect solution when study rooms are full.
And this is just the beginning! More exciting upgrades are coming as we continue
transforming the library to better serve you.
Non-Profit Organization Charity Collection Container
Do you represent a nonprofit organization that partners with our Library, resides within
the WarrenNewport Public Library District (WNPLD), or resides outside the WNPLD
but serves residents within WNPLD’s service area? Your organization may be eligible to

To view the policy, visit www.wnpl.info/wp-content/uploads/policies/4003.pdf.
