"I certainly never write a review about a book I don't think worth reviewing, a flat-out bad book, unless it's an enormously fashionable bad book." --

Better by Design ~~ Reading now

Better by Design states: "Libraries are faced with rapidly shifting populations of users with differing needs, who require a range of fresh communications links that are transforming our concept of the library space. This book takes as its starting point the fact that few architects know about libraries, and fewer librarians know about architectural planning and design."



I recommend this book to all those who are interested in making the library useful and usable. We need more books that teach you best practices to be applied in any type of library in today's converging atmosphere.
