I agree with most of what you said but this line. The libraries used to be a gathering spot for quiet activities - reading, games, puzzles, crafts. Gathering these activities in a single spot with the coffee bar was ideal in my opinion. Then, they were always full. Now we have the library void of people, a separate craft area used for limited hours, a separate map area and a separate game area. Just combine like activities in one area is my opinion. I would not be adverse to including an alcohol bar in this area as well but please, not another noisy lounge with branded, homogenized, pasteurized overly loud music
