  Phyllis,

   

  My library's genealogy room has a mix of large tables that seat 4 people and individual carrels.  All of these have built in electrical outlets for laptops, etc, so that we don't have safety hazards of cords strung across to the wall.  The tables and carrels have a 'master cord' that plugs into floor outlets.

   

  I like having a bulletin board on the wall to post information about programs and events, and some kind of flat space to display new books.

   

  Thanks.

  Hello.

   

  I am interested in hearing from any public library who has a room dedicated to genealogy/local history. I have a couple of questions about the room itself - not the collection.

   

  1) What do you feel is the best physical feature of the room? An arrangement of tables to shelves? equipment? a specific piece of furniture?

   

  2) What would you change about your existing room?

   

  Thank you.
