Library Resources for Architects
Designing to evolve with the changing needs of library patrons.
Libraries, both in the public and academic settings, have seen large changes in recent years. What was previously a quiet space, is now a place for collaboration and community outreach. Spacesaver understands this evolution and has expertise to help create a space that can transform rows of books to kids laughing during story time, chair yoga or a woodcarving demonstration. Along with the necessary products, we also have a wide range of resources to help you in designing and planning these spaces.
Partners in Transformation
Spacesaver understands that as a designer for libraries, there are challenges that you face which go beyond the capabilities of structural design. This is where the proper usage of furniture, fixtures, and equipment can be leveraged to reduce the amount of space needed for book storage, without decreasing the size of the collection, while alos meeting the needs of librarians and program directors. It is that balance of storage and functionality that Spacesaver and our nationwide network of local storage experts help you meet.
Resources to Support Your Designs
We understand that your library projects entail much more than storage, which is why we have created a resource library to help support your projects.
