Two new teenage areas for Wakefield aim to increase library use by young people. The art-photos feature both images of the local area and images of interest to the teenage audience. The large format photos are digitally printed on to durable display panels. At Drury Lane library this theme was extended to banners and light boxes to fit in with the newly re-fitted area which contained modern café style chairs and tables.
