[LM_NET] GEN: "Small changes" make a big difference

[Marcia Dressel <dressel@OSCEOLA.K12.WI.US>]

I'll be looking forward to the article/compilation of what others do to improve the 
aesthetics of their library. 
 
I've been waiting a long time to ask the group this related question:  
How do you make the patron side of your circulation station attractive, or at least 
not to computerish?  
 
When youngsters walk up to our circulation desk they see the back of the computer 
and some (lots of) wires.  I tried wire guides/hiders - doesn't look much  better.
It was interesting  a few years ago when a student made me a National Library Week 
card and drew me standing behind the circ desk:  there was an UGLY gray box 
dwarfing the adorable child-drawn child in the portrait!
