Dewe, Michael Adolescents Case Studies Children Childrens Libraries Design Requirements Foreign Countries Furniture Arrangement Interior Design Interior Space Library Administration Library Equipment Library Facilities Library Planning Library Policy Library Services Physical Environment Public Libraries School Libraries Space Utilization Spatial Relationship (Facilities) User Needs (Information) Now that fewer libraries are being built, it is particularly important to maximize space in the buildings available, and to ensure that library plans are determined by the needs of users. This book introduces the concept of space as a resource available to the library manager, along with stock, staff, and finance, which need managing in the same way as other resources. The book enables school and children's librarians to develop a critical and evaluative attitude to the utilization, layout, appearance, and environment of their libraries. The book covers the following topics: space as a resource; types of school and public library space provision; stages in the creation of the library space resource; planning the space resource; committees and teams; standards and guidelines; location of the library; the range of accommodation; policy and practical issues; spatial relationships and the library layout; furniture and equipment; and case studies of recently completed libraries in schools and for children and young people in the United Kingdom. Illustrated with library plans and photographs. Appendices include a list of information sources, and a list of major furniture and equipment suppliers from the United Kingdom, Europe, North America and Australia. (Contains 205 references.) (SWC)
