On October 28th, Brain Power’s book club visited the wonderful Civic Centre Resource Library in Vaughan to discuss Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451. We were given a guided tour of the building by one of the many helpful librarians (see pictures below), and we saw all of the amenities offered to the public free of charge!
- Green Room: complete with high-end cameras and video cameras, and editing software like Photoshop and Final Cut Pro
- Recording Studio: complete with a professional mixing board and rack and instruments
- Publishing Services: publish your own book for free as an eBook, and potentially have it reviewed by Library Journal, a prominent book reviewing magazine
- Maker Studio: complete with 3D printers
- Teen Zone: a special area dedicated to teenagers and their interests
- Study rooms
- 70,000 items, including books for adults, teens, kids, and tons of movies and cds
- Tables and large meeting rooms
- Outdoor patio
- Approximately 50 employees, including librarians, clerks, and pages
What better place to discuss Bradbury’s chilling vision of a world without books than in this stunning new library!
