* Planning for Building and Renovating Public Library Spaces--NEW*

If you want to build it…how to plan so they will come. In this workshop, 
you’ll learn the basics of planning for building public library spaces, 
examining how to evaluate existing space, future needs, furnishings and 
equipment. You’ll create a “program” for the architects of your own 
building and will achieve an awareness of how to involve staff, the 
public and the marketing department to create a successful project. 
You’ll also discuss how to set up a timetable and decide whether to 
remain in your building during construction or whether to relocate. 
Finally, you’ll discuss environmental concerns as well as choosing
