Fridav. August 28,1998 The University Daily Kansan Section A · Page 5 Remodeled library to offer learning in fun atmosphere By Sarah Hale By Sarah Hale Kansan staff writer Fairy tales, short stories and Dr. Suess are returning to Stouffer Place for the reopening of the children's library. After more than a year of disorganized books and moving locations, a much-improved library will open tomorrow for Stouffer residents and their families. The library, located at Stouffer Place's community center, building 18, unit five, has been remodeled and will feature new titles, which have been organized onto a database, said Sherien Rouhani, community development assistant. Rouhani began working on the library in late June. The whole purpose of reopening the library is to help all of the children in the area," Rouhani said. "Most of the children are young and not yet in school. This is just going to help them have another place to go." Michael Stifter, complex director, said that of Stouffer Place's 750 residents, about 150 are children. Though the library did not have a budget to update the community center, Rouhani said people around Lawrence donated items and services. Many of the new books were donated by the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vermont St. and new carpet was installed by Bud Jennings Carpet One, 2851 Iowa St. Maintenance employees also fixed cracks in the center and repainted the walls, while the housing department donated furniture. The library, which opened about 10 years ago, is designed to try to teach children about using the library and books. Rouhani said it will have more than 300 books for children between the ages of 1 and 14. "We have three kids, and trying to go to the public library becomes a big ordeal," said Ann Curry, Stouffer Place resident. Curry said that her three daughters, ages 2, 3 and 9, would be able to learn in a laid-back environment where they wouldn't have to worry about being quiet or getting yelled at by an employee. "It makes the library much more fun for the kids," she said. "If they don't want to read, they can draw or something." Sifter said the library would eventually add story time and a book of the month for the children, in addition to outdoor children's activities. Children's library A new children's library will open at 3 p.m. tomorrow at the Stouffer Place community center, building 18. unit 5. The library will be open for residents from 5 to 8 p.m. every Monday, Wednesday and Friday and Saturday. from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday. The library will be open for resi- Story time may be offered in different languages to help foreign residents and to add international flare. "Right now we are trying to build it slowly and get it off the ground again," he said. "Our goal is to try to establish something great for everyone." The library will be open from 5 to 8 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday and from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday. Volunteers are encouraged to contact the community center to request an increase in the number of hours the library will be open. The library also will accept donated books.

Stouffer Place residents are encouraged to visit the library, get library cards for their children and stay for a barbecue.
