#library design

It came under fire because its elevator stopped short of 3 levels that were home to fiction books, making them off limits to visitors that are unable to walk. They said it’s not inaccessible b/c staff could go up and get the books. Yeah, but what about browsing?

As a children’s librarian myself, I wouldn’t be thrilled with this children’s dept. access.  A mezzanine above the ground floor contains an adult reading section and a children's area, and the level above it contains reading collections that are divided in half across the floor, for adults and children.

You KNOW that kids are going to play on this curved bamboo wall.
