<p class="MsoNormal">I’m reaching out to ask if anyone has created a space in their library that is reserved for those patrons wishing a quiet space for prayer, meditation, contemplation, etc. We have had this request and have allowed when requested use of
what are often staff only areas. However, we’d like to have something more accessible. We’re hoping to hear if anyone has a more dedicated area in your library and what your experiences have been.
