There was a time, shortly after I graduated from my MLIS program, where I seriously thought about putting together a presentation about the importance of the public washrooms in libraries – from making the entire library as a welcoming space for the widest variety of people to being a great way to promote programs to a captive audience, to including cutting edge technologies and innovations.
I never did pull it all together but I ended up bookmarking a lot of sites and downloading a lot of photos that would form a solid foundation for my presentation (which are still out there on the Internet if you know where to look – and no, I’m not going to provide links!)
The news that Regina’s Science Centre has been recognized for transforming one set of washrooms to give the sense of being in a traditional Saskatchewan outhouse is another story that would’ve gone on my bookmark list for sure!
(No word if a crescent moon is cut into the doors of the stalls or if people are required to use old Sears catalogues as TP though!) 🙂
