made retrieval

10. “We want to get freshmen in the door, showoff our
space, and hopefully make them feel comfortable. Let
them see that we are approachable and not stogy. We
want to set the bar high and raise their expectations of
what the library is or can be.”
-Brian Matthews the Ubiquitous Librarian

well…If it’s hard to use, limited in
weird ways or doesn’t have
interesting-to-me content, I’m
gone

The compost bins are used for all of the library garden and yard trimmings and are a teaching site for lake friendly gardening practices. The library staff, visitors and local restaurants also add to the compost. Interpretive signs are above each bin explaining the composting process.
Backyard composting is a way to reconnect to our environment. When residents and visitors see how economical, how environmentally friendly and how easy the compost process is, we hope that they will be inspired to start their own backyard composting. Finished compost is used in all the library gardens. No other fertilizers are used in the gardens or lawn. Herbicides and pesticides are never used in these gardens.
