Library Design
We were assigned the task of designing a library for ILS
562, School Library Media Centers. I found this task to be extremely
enlightening, as it exposed me to the effects of different design techniques
for a library of any type. We were forced to examine every square inch of a
physical library space to maximize the effectiveness of the facility. I
personally included information on everything from library shelf height, to
wall color. Another interesting part of the project was to research the
selection and purchase of materials for a mini-grant. On the personnel side of
the task, I designed job descriptions for all accompanying library staff.
