Ruby Schares, 7, uses a computer in Parks Library's family-friendly room Monday while her parents, Stephanie and Eric Schares (a Parks Library employee), look on with her siblings, Rose, 9, and June, 2. The family-friendly room, located on the lower level of the library, is a place anyone with a Net-ID who is a caregiver can bring children to learn and play while they study. The room can be reserved online. It's equipped with two adult workstations with universal docking stations, a black and white printer, whiteboards and markers. Photos by Christopher Gannon.
