Index
"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."
