Book Description
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.

Book Description
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.
