PublicLibrary  \nby Nolan Lushington  \nn ideal library design is an effec-tive combination of many relatedfunctions.The building gives people awide range of choices and services,andaccommodates many different needs.Whether constructing a new library,renovating an existing one,or simplyseeking to improve your facilities astime and budget allow,you can increaseyour success by employing some ofthese ideas.  \nFinding the Building People canfind the library easily;park in a well-lighted parking lot convenient to theentrance;and enter carrying their ma-terials,or pushing a baby carriage,or managing a wheelchair.  \n·Design requirements:An illuminatedsign(preferably internally lit)placedperpendicular to traffic,showingservice hours;a parking lot sizedfor library activity including pro-grams—one space for every 300sq.ft.of building area;automaticdoors.  \nDisplaying New MaterialsThe display of materials shouldemulate a good bookstore.Peoplewill select a recent video,CD,aninteresting printed or audio bookfrom a prominent,attractive dis-play of new materials with coverswell lighted for easy browsing.Market materials by displayingthem for convenient browsing withalphabetic sequencing.·Design re-quirements:Slanted,lighted display  \nCONNECTICUTLIBRARIESA Publication ofthe ConnedicutLibraryAssociation  \nshelving with no shelveslower than 12”nor higher than 54;\"aisles at least fourfeet wide.  \nOffering Choices A public libraryis a multi-functional community center,ever growing and changing.The widevariety of services and activities offeredrequire an understanding of how thesefunctions relate to one another,andhow different users find and use them.  \n·Design considerations:Orientation andcommunication among users and staffrequires an intricate combination ofsigns,lighting,furnishings,and spatialzoning to suggest opportunities for al-ternative behaviors.Provide an opencoffee area for conversation,acousti-cally separated group and individualstudy rooms,computers everywhere,both embedded and on table tops.  \nWWw.Iib.uconn.edu/cla  \nState Documents Librarians Meet atState Library.………………………………………………2Looking at Book……………………  …2From the

 \nFinding a Book Public libraries arefundamentally self service institu-tions.Over 80%of users nevercontact a staff member except tocheck out materials.People can se-lect a book on a particular subjectfrom a large collection of materi-als on a wide variety of subjects.Users can locate a particular bookin a collection of thousands be-cause the library's collections areuniformly arranged in an easy-to-find sequence.·Design considerations:The great book stack,containingtens of thousands of books,needs to be carefully laid out tosuggest the sequence.End panels,visible with line-of-sight signage inaisles,need to be lighted for easyaccess to a particular book;online pub-lic access computers distributed con-veniently in the stacks.Continwed on page 10  \nState  \nDoauments  \nLibrarians
