Today’s libraries are changing in response to social, economical, and technological demands. As these changes occur it is important for libraries to stay ahead of the curve and to constantly question how traditional library services are provided.
We have found that our municipal libraries are becoming the community’s center whereas social-educational activities take place and a more ‘retail’ environment exists. While they have become less of a ‘storage’ facility for books, they are in fact even more of a repository of knowledge given the technological advancements of our time. Through our efforts on numerous library studies and designs over the past years we have developed a keen eye for trends and concepts in library design. We understand that the challenge to library design is to allow this evolution of services to occur in an environment that is flexible and one that reflects the community.
Our primary goal when designing a library is to make certain that the library functions at its best…from the perspective of both the patron and the staff. We endeavor to do so in a creative manner that respects the realistic financial considerations of our communities
