This month in Idea Box...

Help us gear up for "20,000 Reads Under the Sea" as Idea Box becomes a watery wonderland. Learn more about our unique summer reading program. [1]

What is Idea Box?

Idea Box, located just inside the Main Library entrance, is a dedicated 9’ x 13’ space that each month provides a new and dynamic participatory community experience. Visitors are encouraged to learn through tinkering, fun, experimentation and play.

What's Inside is Always Changing

• By changing exhibits, Idea Box offers fresh ways to engage library customers in lifelong learning through creative play and fun.
• Installations vary to reflect the diverse interests in our community. One installation may feature participatory art and culture; another may solicit opinions on an upcoming initiative or library service, or be hands-on, demonstrating new technology.
• For a taste of what's appeared, see previous Idea Box installations [2] on Flickr

Watch this video to hear how Idea Box was born, and about its first exhibit in April, also National Poetry Month.
