Book Synopsis Planning for a New Generation of Public Library Buildings by : Gerard B. McCabe
Download or read book Planning for a New Generation of Public Library Buildings written by Gerard B. McCabe and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2000-01-30 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The public library director needs information that helps in understanding what is involved in planning for a public library building project. This applies whether the subject is a free standing independent building, a branch library, a joint-use facility with a museum, a senior academic library, a community or junior college library, or a school library. Reading this book will not turn a reader into a qualified specialist on library buildings, but it will help librarians and others learn what should be known about a project so that they may function effectively as part of the planning team. The concept of modern libraries is moving toward interactive connections with information sources far beyond the immediate community. For the contemporary public library, this means connection to a network, with several terminals constantly online to the Internet. New library buildings must be constructed with these and other needs in mind.

The helpful presentation and readable style guides the librarian through the preliminary information-gathering and decision-making process that ensures a successful library building for all concerned. Using practical case studies, plans and photographs, the author tackles the critical issues of siting, size, plans and design concepts, and provides a helpful guide to weighing up the alternatives of refurbished, converted and new buildings. Separate chapters focus on the planning, briefing and construction process; security, safety and sustainability; key characteristics of successful buildings; identity, decor and signage; and interior layout and facilities. The text draws together a vast resource of real library examples from all over the world which provide best practice models and lessons to learn. For funding authorities, librarians and architects of public libraries this is a highly informative book that will help to ensure wise decision-making and prevent costly mistakes.

Download or read book How to Plan a Library Building for Library Work written by Charles C. Soule and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Plan a Library Building for Library Work Of the author of this volume it was said by President Hill at the 1906 A. L. A. Conference, "he has given the subject of Library Architecture more thought and attention, probably, than any other member." Mr. Soule is well known to older librarians. To introduce him to a younger generation and to architects, we would say that although he is a publisher and bookseller, and not professionally a librarian, he has had an effective training in library science. He joined the American Library Association in 1879, became at once a working member, has attended twenty Conferences, and has been elected to office, as follows: 1888-1899 - Trustee of the Brookline (Mass.) Public Library. 1890-1908 - Publishing Board, A. L. A. 1890 - Vice-president. 1893 - 1896, 1900-1905 - Member of the Council. 1894 - 1906 - Trustee Endowment Fund. 1906 - 1912 - Member of the Institute.
