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 [1] on Flickr

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

 

For more information about Idea Box, contact Monica Harris, Customer Service Manager, at mharris@oppl.org [2]. Because of strong initial response, please understand submissions for new ideas are currently unavailable until fall of 2013.
