5000 square foot library layout

Would you share with me a layout of your small library, 5000 to 7500 square feet?

I have built three of similar size, but the last one was in 1997, so I'm interested in seeing how public access stations, the stacks, reference, youth areas, etc., are being "laid out" in some more recent facilities.

I will be building two new facilities, one soon, another probably next year.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

While we wait for others to respond, I thought I'd direct you to some of our resources. Linda Demmers of [url http://www.librisdesign.org/]Libris Design[/url] put together a [url /do/DisplayContent?id=12748]guide to resources and tools for library space planning[/url].

We also have a list of [url /do/Navigation?category=6281] Key Resources for Space Planning[/url] that is helpful. In particular, I would like to highlight [url http://projects.libraryjournal.com/login.asp]Library Journal's Projects Database[/url]. This free database can help you plan your new building or renovation, and your project can help others.

Thanks for getting this conversation going, Danny!
