Today's library facility manager (usually the Director) is faced with a wide cross-section responsibilities, challenges, and priorities.
- How do you plan for a new 21st century library facility?
- How do you reconfigure an existing facility to meet 21st century needs?
- What kinds of spaces do we need to plan for our communities?
- What kinds of priorities do we set on maintaining and improving our spaces?
From lighting to water systems, power to noise control, networking to flooring — there's plenty to think about. This webinar will provide an overview of the issues facing old and new library facilities, and techniques and tools for tackling both.
