GODFREY – When Reid Memorial Library sustained heavy damage from a ruptured water line over winter break a few years ago, Lewis and Clark Community College transformed the chaos into creativity. Always evolving to meet the unique needs of the campus community, the library turned a necessary remodel into a major glow up, resulting in the vibrant makerspace and student hangout it is today. “We saw an opportunity to do more than fix the damage,” said Director of Library Services Dennis Krieb. “Instead, we reimagined ways to provide an even more engaging environment for creativity, collaboration, and relaxation for all L&C students, team members and local residents.” The newly designed space features comfortable modern furniture, including two collaborative media tables, four soft seating couches, and two modular seating areas, perfect for group projects and social interaction, Krieb said.
