A Note From the
Executive Director

Library Journal's Year in Architecture 2023<https://mms.neo-rls.org/ct.php?lid=239140191&mm=84813265281> is here, and it celebrates library spaces right in our own backyard. Cleveland Public Library and the Stark County District Library are among the libraries showcased. I encourage you to explore the new building data and the latest library design trends including, "Rooms to Connect," "Integrated Spaces," "Living in Color," "Home in the Community," "Experiential Explorations," and "Welcome One and All". These concepts are revolutionizing the way we think about libraries, transforming them into dynamic, engaging hubs for people from all walks of life.

Feeling inspired and ready to kickstart a project at your library? Check out the NEO-RLS Facilities Webinar Bundle<https://mms.neo-rls.org/ct.php?lid=239141413&mm=84813265281>. Webinars include, "Building Projects 101," "Library Renovations," "Trends in Library Design", and more! Learn from experts, gain valuable insights, and unlock the secrets of successful library projects.

Have a great day!

Ragan
