I visited the Escondido Public Library, it's one of my favorite libraries for many reasons. The library has a nice neighborhood-community feel about it. They recently did some remodeling and freshening up with great results (in my opinion) unlike the vista Public library which now has a too modern, sterile feel about it, the Escondido public library seems to combine the best of two worlds. It still has that comforting library feel about it while combining the latest technology. The best thing about this library is their staff who go out of their way for every patron. As part of my library tech studies i have visited many libraries, one stands out in my mind as being beautiful but with a remote and cold staff. All it takes is one time for someone who may be a first time library user to be turned off be staff who act as though a patron is interrupting them or encroaching on "their space." For someone who is disabled and needs to use adaptive technology it is extremely important that library staff be approachable. The Escondido library has a special computer for the visually impaired. It is equipped with a large screen with magnification capabilities and features a special text magnification mouse. When i spent three hours shadowing a reference librarian last semester in this library, i observed several patrons asking for help with this special computer. The library also has some special Braille audio players. Serving the needs of all it's patrons is an important task for libraries.
