Library Report – Pomona & Zoe
- Zoe reports on the library garden:
There’s already a lovely garden surrounding the library, on the outside, but…
… that inner central area is difficult to transform into a garden as requested, since it’s inside a formal building…
…having tried several things from a zen garden to a floral clock, I’ve set up a circle of tabletop miniature-gardens-in-books, a central turtle pond, an aquarium, birds…
… having some motion helps make the space feel alive, I think…
… there are places you can sit, including two benches, and twelve piles of books…
… I’ll appreciate getting some feedback from anyone who has time to offer some.
Maybe what we want is some more simple idea, with one central focus, like a really large aquarium or aviary? Maybe what’s there now is too cluttered?
(After our meeting, many LG members popped over to the library and provided very helpful feedback. Thank you all!)
