Space Needs at the Fleming Library

The Board and Staff of the Lincoln Public Library are reviewing the space needs at the Fleming (Beamsville) Library. If you use this location, we would like your feedback on what you think of the current facility.

Some topics that are being reviewed are the following:

1)Study space - Do we need more tables and do we need quiet study space?
2)Meeting Space - Do you have difficulty accessing the downstairs meeting space?
3)Wireless access - Do we need to provide more outlets and more tables for wireless users?
4)Internet access - Do we need more Internet computers?
5)Children's space - Do we need a more cosy space to house the children's collection
6)Teen's space - Do we need a larger area for the teen's collection? Seating area?
7)Comfortable seating - Do we need a comfortable seating area for reading and study?
8)Would you like to see a new facility near downtown or would you prefer an addition at the current location?
9)Parking - Do we need to have more parking?

If you have any other concerns or comments, please feel free to add those as well.

Thank you for your input.

Wireless Access at the Fleming (Beamsville) Library

The Fleming (Beamsville) Library recently installed a wireless connection to the Internet to all laptop users with a wifi card. Usage has tripled since we started in the fall. We are considering expanding this service to our Moses F. Rittenhouse (Vineland) location. The staff would appreciate your input into the viability of this service to our Vineland customers.
