Reviews
"Having lived through a library renovation,
this reviewer is certain that it would have
been much easier with this book. Woodward
gives excellent information for every step of
the process. Many of her suggestions deal
with the technical aspects of design and
building, but she also delves into the personal
realm, for example, the adversarial relationship
that can arise between architect and
librarian and how to avoid such problems ... This book is a necessary read for anyone considering
construction or renovation of a library."
