Comment: Get a coffee shop in the library.
Response: We have been talking about this in our long term planning. At this time, it is not feasible to add a coffee shop, no place to put one, but we too love our coffee and tea and consider this something worthy of figuring out.
You can always stop at the local places such as Shawn's and Elleson's Bakery and bring your coffee to the library. If you have a Library travel mug, you will get a discount on your coffee purchase.

Wheat Sculpture
Comment: Why not put the metal wheat sculpture that was crowded into a small space on the front of the library in the parking lot. It would look nice there.
Response: The metal wheat sculpture was removed from in location about two years ago in order to complete some repairs to the building. We talked about moving the sculpture, but discovered that the base had rusted and the piece was in major disrepair. It was not financially feasible for the library to pay to have the sculpture repaired. The Board decided to give the sculpture back to the artist, Bart Woodstrup.

Baby Program
Comment: "I would just like to suggest a babies program. I recently went to the one in DeKalb and it was wonderful, not to mention way overcrowded. I think a lot of Sycamore residents, such as myself, are driving to DeKalb to attend this. A program for babies through age 18 months or 2 years would be very fun and wildly popular in my opinion."
Response: In addition to our regularly scheduled Toddler Times occurring on Tuesday mornings throughout the year, we are happy to announce that Angie Carter will be returning once again to the Sycamore Library! Please be sure to stop by every other Friday at 10:00 am, April 3rd- June 26th.

Serenity
Comment: Purchase the movie "Serenity." The movie is unavailable for rental and must be bought to view online. So it would give those who can't afford it a chance to watch it.
Response: Thank you for your suggestion! Serenity used to be in our collection but disappeared over the years. We agree that this movie would be a valuable re-addition to the collection. As soon as we received your suggestion we purchased the item, and it should be in our collection within the next few weeks.

New DVD/CD Shelving
Comment: You should have a new separate display for New DVDs/CDs.
Response: Excellent suggestions. We are currently looking into purchasing a display option for our new DVDs. However, CDs do currently have a "NEW" section located directly atop their shelving. Any Library staff member would be more than happy to show your their exact location.
