Part II @ 2pm...this is the really important one, the public opening.
The library opened at 2pm with over 40 people waiting in the car park for the ribbon cutting. KD & I held the ribbon while Cllr Raffoul held the scissors.
We had really positive feedback on the layout, signage and so far customers seem happy with the subject lounge concept, we will see what happens.....

Official Opening 10am...my role "car park security"
The choir were lovely, the turn out not overwhelimg but perfect for the space and the Hon Richard Wynne made his delivery with such a positive energy that I was really engaged and if I had not assisted in dot-pointing for the speech myself I could easily have believed the words were actually his own. In addition to the info we provided he threw in a few relevant and interesting adlibs which only added to the experience.

After pulling a late one on the night before opening (I was greeted at the front door by a bleary eyed man & dog at 11pm) it is here. Opening Day fingers crossed all goes well.

For those interested in my pics of Gold Coast Libraries I apologise but the have been removed pending approval from GCCC. I apologise to my readers and to Gold Coast who feel I mis-represented myself.
I did tell them that I had a new library opening (which I do - next week) and in a more extended discussion did tell one staff member that I was completing a research study regarding layout, the introduction of self serve technology and the impact on customer service (which I am - hence this blog)
This is the first time I have been asked to remove photos in 18months but am happy to seek approval through the appropriate channels.
I would like to ensure all those libraries appearing on my blog that although I always point out both good and bad aspects of a library, it is merely to draw out thought and discussion. I have a passion for the ongoing development of public libraries and a respect for those working in the industry.
The photos contained no customers or staff, just signage, layout and furniture/shelving so I hope that I will gain approval to return them soon. Stay posted...
