O Big renovations planned for Iroquois Ridge library branch n Sept. 8, the Oakville Public Library Board approved a plan to renovate the Iroquois Ridge Branch and construct a Creation Zone within its walls. To accommodate the renovations, the branch will be closed from late January-June 2017. Creation Zones, Makerspaces, Idea Labs and other communitybuilding hub models are becoming increasingly common throughout North America, especially in public libraries. They serve as access points to new technologies and provide unifying, inspiring spaces where creativity and knowledge can be shared. Most importantly, they support the development of 21st century literacy skills and a culture of engaged, lifelong learning. 21 | Friday, October 14, 2016 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com Evolving as community hubs As technology increasingly becomes an integral part of day-to-day life, library branches will continue to evolve as community hubs. In light of these changes, Tara Wong, director of Collections and Technologies, advises "highly-valued, traditional services, like bookborrowing will remain a mainstay." Though Iroquois Ridge Branch's collection will be downsized somewhat, books will be reallocated throughout the system and available for pickup at the branch. For the duration of the closure, Iroquois Ridge Branch will be closed to the public. Cardholders will still be able to pick up holds, return items and borrow popular materials from the Book Depot, which will operate out of the branch program room. Family Storytimes will still be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays within the Iroquois Ridge Community Centre, and White Oaks Branch will host additional programming until renovations are complete. Once complete, Iroquois Ridge's Creation Zone will provide residents with exciting opportunities and more space to connect, share ideas, create and innovate. see Learning on p.26 For more news, visit insidehalton.com/oakville-on. `Like' the Oakville Beaver on Facebook.
