Sneak Peak at the 21c Library
In Colorado Springs, the Pikes Peak Library District has repurposed a former office building (Digital Equipment Company) into a library that they are calling 21c. On the ground floor are the stacks and amenities of a traditional library, but the second floor is far different. Here one can find a 3-D printer, sewing machines, a video production studio including a green screen setup, high end workstations, a conference room with a touch interactive whiteboard / video conferencing setup, and several different gaming rooms.
Jack and I attending a Sneak Peak reception on Friday night. The library has its grand opening on June 21. While we were at the Sneak Peak, we had our photo taken using the green screen in the video studio. We picked the background that we wanted to use, then stood in front of the green screen for the photo.
