About the Book

Checklist of Library Building Design Consideration is a practical guide for planning the construction of new library facilities or renovating existing library buildings. Written by veteran library administrator and construction consultant William Sannwald, the book assists librarians and building design teams in understanding and managing the different stages of the library design and construction process.

The updated fifth edition includes important new topics related to modern library infrastructure and sustainable development. It features a dedicated chapter on sustainable design covering issues such as site selection, indoor air quality, energy efficiency, and water conservation. The book also includes updated discussions on wireless networking, information commons, media production laboratories, special collections, and materials handling systems.

Additional sections focus on disaster planning and revised ADA accessibility guidelines that align with the structure of the federal accessibility statute. Through its clear checklist format, the book presents complex construction and renovation issues in an organized and practical manner, helping libraries plan and execute projects more effectively and efficiently.

This publication serves as a valuable resource for librarians, architects, planners, administrators, and construction consultants involved in library infrastructure development and renovation projects.
