We have a small room that is tiled instead of carpeted. It was supposed to be a craft room, but we use it as an extension of the children's room instead. It is a pain to take care of--you have to make sure it is mopped AND dried prior to opening; if you have to clean up a spill during the day, you have to watch carefully to keep people from slipping (and suing); it echoes like crazy, making the library much louder. We are looking into carpeting the room to solve these problems. We are very anxious to do this because we believe the advantages far outweight the disadvantages. We do craft time in the carpeted meeting room, and I can honestly say that we have not experienced any problems from doing crafts in a carpeted area. The children have not been responsible for any of the stains on the carpet; those have all come from adults who served food and/or drinks at their meetings. There is nothing like a spilled tureen of gravy to stain a carpet! Deanna Frazee Director of Library Services 205 E.

The City financial staff wants to use tile with an area rug to save money. I think it would be too noisy. Does anyone have tile instead of carpet?
