        Library Building and Space Planning GuidebookThe guidebook provides a quick overview, not an all-inclusive guide to the potentially overwhelming (yet very rewarding) experience of building a new library. Each chapter includes a brief narrative section, followed by a series of resources for the reader to consider. Chapters include assessing your space, projecting the size of the future building, hiring an architect, thinking about possible spaces to include within the building, furnishing the space, and other tips for a successful project. It is intended to be used like a workbook. Use the sections as you need them. There are a variety of forms/templates with instructions you can use to gather/present your information.
