Assessing & Managing Your Building

The appearance of your library heavily influences the way it is perceived in the community. While the staff and board members can often list the limitations of their library building; just as often familiarity can blind them to easily addressed problems regularly experienced by the users. If new construction is not in your near future that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t make the most of what you have now. This workshop will provide practical information and tips on refreshing, redesigning, and remodeling your facility and space.

We’ll focus on:
•    How to regain the users’ perception from streetscape to wayfinding and contemporary safety concerns .
•    How to  step  back and re-examine and rethink your facility and space layout with an eye towards more effective, dynamic, customer-focused use.
•    How to determine whether an extreme makeover or gentle updating is needed.
•    How to assess of your building.
•    How to develop an effective maintenance programs and communicate with users when a big project is underway.
