Hi, I’m Holly Sorensen, director at the Des Plaines Public Library. And this is the
Year Ahead for 2013. 2012 was a great year at the library. Over
500 thousand people visited the library last year. They checked out over 1 million items
and came to our popular events and programs. Usage of our eBooks, downloadable music, and
magazines continued to grow as well. We appeared on Library Journal’s list of
Star Libraries in 2012. We’re one of 20 libraries in Illinois offering you great materials,
services and programs. In 2013, we’re going to work to make the
library even better for you. We’re upgrading our computer area on the
4th floor. Computers will be centrally located. Finding computers and asking for help will
be easier. We’re looking at other ways to improve how
you use the library. We’re performing a space study to make sure that every part of
the library is being used in the best way possible.
It may be virtual, but our website will be upgraded as well. We want to make it timely,
easy to use, and beautiful to look at. We’ll continue to expand our collections,
offer great programs, and be the best library we can be. So stay tuned for these changes
and check our website at dppl.org for information about all of the things we do every day.
