Incorporating a family-friendly space into a university library
Academic libraries provide support for student-parents in a variety of ways from providing activity kits for visiting children to offering family-friendly rooms. The author learned of the need for this type of support through conversations with students. A formal survey on library services and spaces was conducted. Respondents indicated it would be helpful to them if they could bring their children with them to the library. The family-friendly space in Swirbul Library provides an opportunity for student-parents to utilize the library while having their children accompany them. This article covers the steps taken to bring this space to fruition, from conceptualization, planning, implementation to current use.
