Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever considered creating a library in your home? If the answer is yes, then the short book "Library Rooms and Buildings" by byCharles C. Soule will be of great interest. Soule writes to explain all the basics on building and stocking a library. His advice is appropriate for everyone, whether you are planning to convert one room to a library in your home, or you are building a community library for many people to enjoy. "Library Rooms and Buildings" begins with the basics: how to estimate the number of bookshelves you will need and how high and deep they should be. For libraries that will grow beyond one room, Soule advises dividing the spaces in the most economical way possible, since typically libraries only employ one person per room. He suggests keeping books away from direct sunlight and out of the elements. Soule has advice for towns planning new libraries. He estimates that a small wooden building could be built at the time for around $2,500. Times may have changed, but Soule's larger point was that every community should plan for a library, no matter how small. It is clear that Soule believed that a library was essential to foster a sense of camaraderie and a spirit of learning among neighbors. Soule explains how town libraries can be funded and what the basic requirements are for stocking shelves and staffing. Although it would have been interesting to read Soule's recommendations on selecting books, book selection is beyond the scope of this 24-page booklet. It is still a valuable resource on the mechanics of building a proper library. "Library Rooms and Buildings" deserves a place on the shelves of every bibliophile.
