All of the listed would be great assets to the library.
It would be great to see more educational/documentary type DVD's that you can not borrow from the video store available for borrowing.

The new library needs to include seperate areas for kids, teenagers and older people. Quite areas and noisy areas. Heaps more seating and tables than the current building.
More Computers with longer booking times with all the modern software and hardware applications. The ability for self service like at Big W - I want to borrow my own books.
Organised events and programs - author visits, writers workshops, book clubs and discussion groups. Activities for kids and young people not only during school holidays.
Parking that is more than 2 hours so I can do research in the Library without having to move the car and a cafe so I can spend all day their if I want to.
An outdoor seating area - a courtyard perhaps off the cafe.
Why not a drive-by return chute?
