This book provides practical information and insights to library
administrators and building plan team members at academic and
public libraries who are considering or starting a library
expansion or reconfiguration of existing space. Building a new
library or expanding or renovating an existing building brings up a
host of questions and concerns, not the least of which involves the
future of the library. This book addresses those issues in light of
an overarching positive vision of libraries and their evolving
purposes and roles in the 21st century. This guide identifies and
addresses all of the steps in the building process, including
preparing the request for proposal (RFP), selecting the right
architect for the job, developing a financial contingency plan, and
managing stakeholders' expectations. The book presents both the
perspectives and experience of library administrators and
management personnel as well as the insights of accomplished
library architects and designers. It provides thorough, practical,
and current guidance in a process that library administrators often
find daunting and "risk immersive." Reading this book is like
sitting down with a knowledgeable, impartial consultant before
beginning a major renovation project-a tremendous asset for library
administrators as well as architectural firms. Covers all of the
steps in the building process, from preparing the RFP and selecting
an architect to developing a financial contingency plan and
managing community and staff expectations Includes contributions
from some of the most accomplished library architects and designers
from across the nation Presents information of great relevance and
interest to library administrators as well as to architectural
firms that work with libraries
