Put your ideas for front desk beautification here:


  • Reduce size of "freebie" table ( increase walk-in space, improve ADA access, perhaps add a literature rack)
  • Counter in front of desks (improve access to clip boards - perhaps change to electronic sign-up and sign-in)
  • Reduce number of chairs, remove giant plant (increase space)
  • Clean up overhead (improve overhead appearance, perhaps add solar mirror to add light without electricity)
  • Paint. Perhaps something other than just white? Perhaps with Geek supportive graphics (a unique Tux?)
  • Refresh front window.
  • Window washing.
  • Remove stuff that doesn't move (dust bunny traps) to another area (book box, lost & found, etc.)
  • More frequent clean up of bulletin board material.
  • Display some art.
  • Perhaps find a local design class (high-school, college) to take on the reception area as a project.
  • Shift desks over to window. This would improve staff traffic flow to the Geek with a shorter path that doesn't force you to walk through whoever is in front of desk. Yes, that would create a problem with the book bag area.
  • Requested: either blinds hung across front windows during sunny hours, or "light screens" around flat-screen desk monitors to block glare. Receiving has been looking, but has found nothing. Could possibly get blinds donated, depending.
