Hi. I’m Kim Bolan Cullin.
A stunningly
realistic drawing, isn’t it?
It’s time to talk about…
SPACE
Uh…wrongspace.
How about…

BUMMER
Episode X
Libraries: A New Hope
A long time ago….
There were libraries designed with books and tables. There was a librarian behind a desk to direct people where to go. Now we live in a new world and it is time to change the face of libraries one building at a time…
Great library space is more than architecture & furniture.
Space is a launch pad… for a
lean, mean, service
machine!
Hell, yeah!
Libraries…THE FINAL FRONTIER.
And a
space
where
people
want to be!
It’s time to rethink “traditional” library service!!!!
And that means we need to talk about
the…
4F
S
A.K.A
.FUNCTIONFLEXIBILITYFORMFEEDBACK
Let’s put theFUN
in Function
Put your personal biases & expectations aside and ask yourself,
“What do your users need & want most?”Rebels
!
Browseable collections put materialswithinarmsreach.
Power tools need hooks and pegs, not shelves & book ends.
Uncommon collections deserve uncommonly great
spaces!
Now Circulating: Hand and Power Tools – Globe Public Library (AZ)Fishing Equipment – Wood Library (NY)
As your community “grows up” the spaces they use should grow
too.
Build Multi-functional,ZonedChildren’s Spaces
And they will come!
Pre-school Ages 0 - 4
Young School Aged Ages 5 - 8
Pre-teen Ages 9 - 12
Move beyond the “one space fits all ages” concept.
Build a library that works with ages 0 - 18 and fosters youth development at all stages!
Separate, Interactive Teen Spaces
Think…
variety in size & function,
flexibility,
capability.
FLEX Meeting Spaces
This space has it all!
Orange County (FL) Library System
Big service desks be
gone!
Smaller kiosks
encourage interaction!
RIP Big Desk!
Supported Self-Service…
Provides fast & convenient access for checkout, holds pick-up, and more!
Drive up services add convenience.
Can I get fries with that fiction?
Digital Creativity
Spaces
let usersexplore technology in new ways.
And…it doesn’t have to take
place “in a room.”
Let’s talk aboutSPACE & SIGNS.I’m a
Pisces!
Not that sign.
Excellent, clear signage Excellent, clear signage guides patrons to where guides patrons to where they’d like to be.they’d like to be.
Eliminating jargon lets customers understand the
library.
Digital Signagespreads messagesquickly.
Flexibilityenhances
functionality
Flexible spaces grow, move, and change on a
daily basis to fit your ever changing needs.
Casters let space move to accommodate different arrangements, events, etc.
Flexibles spaces don’t just look cool…
They can also be adapted today, tomorrow, and
even after 5 years without significant $$$$
investment!Like a librarian high roller!

"It struck me as an important concept," Mr. Ungar says. "You don't diminish the importance of the library by putting other things in it."
Sanford J. Ungar, President of Goucher College
Any new (academic) library building will have hissing espresso machines, padded chairs, and noisy study areas. But what does one make of a library with an art gallery, a restaurant, and open forum space that can seat at least 700 people? How about treadmills, exercise bikes, and rowing machines as well?
