Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Suggestions on Library Architecture: American and Foreign, With an Examination of Mr. Wm; F. Poole's Scheme for Library Buildings Mr. J. L. Smithmeyer, the architect of the intended building for the Congressional Library, has published a little pamphlet containing an account of the various competitions for the design of the building, as well as a review of the paper of Mr. William F. Poole, of Chicago, upon the construction of library buildings, which excited so much comment in and out of the profession some years ago. Mr. Smithheyer's criticism of this paper is well-considered, and is certainly effective in many points, showing conclusively that Mr. Poole's model plan is anything but an economical one, either in first cost or in the expense of administration, while it fails in its provision of light. For small libraries there are probably advantages in Mr. Poole's arrangement, but for the peculiar requirements, at least of the Congressional Library, it would be, as we have before suggested, quite unsuitable. In speaking of his investigations into the necessary conditions of library constructions, Mr. Shith-meyer makes the remark, which should be remembered by all young architects, that the first consideration in such buildings should be light, the second, heating and ventilation, and the third, security against fire and dampness. All other points, important as they may be, must be regarded as subordinate to these. It is gratifying to have some of the observations of one so competent to make them put in a form to be useful to the profession, and we are only sorry that Mr. Smithmeyer should not have made his book larger. If, as seems likely, his design for the new building should be speedily carried out, we hope that he will collect the special knowledge which he has acquired, or may acquire during its progress, in a permanent work, for the benefit of his fellow architects.

Download or read book Constructing Library Buildings That Work written by Fred Schlipf and published by American Library Association. This book was released on 2020-07-24 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When it’s time to start planning for a renovation or construction project, you don’t need a book that covers everything from A to Z. Instead you need a concentrated set of tools and techniques that will guide you and your team to find the best solutions for your specific project. That’s exactly what library building expert Schlipf provides in his new book, which will be a key resource for library directors, administrators, board members, trustees, and planning professionals. Pinpointing the elements that make library buildings functional, in this book readers will find a streamlined organization of the text that enables quick consultation and facilitates collaboration; concise coverage of the essentials of the library construction process, including who does what, how things work, and how to stay out of trouble along the way; advice on important planning and workflow considerations such as site selection, schematic design, funding, design development, the bidding process, construction, and post-construction occupancy; discussion of the characteristics of successful library buildings—buildings that are easy to maintain, welcoming to people with disabilities, have less trouble-prone restrooms, and provide security for users, staff, and collections; and an overview of bad ideas in library architecture, with pointed guidance on how to steer clear of them from the very beginning of your project.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This go-to guide covers the entire process of building or renovating a public library—from initial planning, to maintaining the completed space, to measuring success. In light of current social and technological shifts, libraries are reinventing themselves. Meeting place, makerspace, community center, cultural hub, multimedia lender—today's public library is all of these and more. Whether your library is undertaking a simple renovation or redesign or looking at a full-blown building project, the voice of the librarian is important to the project, and you need to understand both the processes involved and the questions to ask. Beginning with the development of a pre-construction vision, the book guides you through the entire process. It covers everything from making a case for the project to the authorities and the community through fundraising, budgeting, and site and team selection. You'll read about space programming, the design phase, pre-construction preparation, staff management, and moving the library, as well as about post-construction management and maintenance. Measures of success are included, as are helpful forms and an invaluable glossary of relevant construction terms. With this guide in hand, you and your team can plan efficiently, avoid common pitfalls, and create a library you and your community will love for many years to come.
