Designing a School Library Media Center for the Future

Sharing their experience of working on around 100 school building projects, Erikson (library media specialist, Minuteman School of Applied Arts and Sciences) and Markuson (a private consultant) provide a guide for library renovation efforts. They explain how to implement new school library standards and demystify changes resulting from technology, while paying attention to costs and addressing the special needs of children. Included are ten conceptual plans for actual school libraries. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
