The changes are part of an overall library space-use plan designed to provide a more user-friendly and comfortable library setting, according to a news release.

Some of the changes made already include a coffee shop, Crossroads Coffee Etc., on the main floor; rearrangement of the main-floor book stacks; centralization of the computers to a “technology commons”; relocation of popular materials nearer to the front of the library; and a self-checkout machine on the second floor.

The new book-sale area is operated by volunteers from Friends of the Rapid City Public Library.

If you don't see your comment, perhaps...

you called someone an idiot, a racist, a dope, a moron, etc. Please, no name-calling or profanity (or veiled profanity -- #$%^&*).
you rambled, failed to stay on topic or exhibited troll-like behavior intended to hijack the discussion at hand.
YOU SHOUTED YOUR COMMENT IN ALL CAPS. This is hard to read and annoys readers.
you named a business or identified a business in a way good or bad. Contact the business directly with your customer service concerns or your praise – they’ll likely appreciate your feedback.
you believe the newspaper's coverage is unfair. It would be better to write Jerry Steinley at jerry.steinley@rapidcityjournal.com or call him at 394-8427. This is a forum for community discussion, not for media criticism. We'd rather address your concerns directly.
you included an e-mail address or phone number, pretended to be someone you aren't or offered a comment that makes no sense.
you accused someone of a crime or assigned guilt or punishment to someone suspected of a crime.
your comment is in really poor taste.
