In my first librarian job, my boss and I had the opportunity to oversee the move of a crowded small town library into a soon-to-be-vacated nearby church.
This photo was during our first visit to the church to see if it would be a workable space once all the pews and other church holdings were removed.
I was never more glad to have taken a class that had an element of library design to it. The class was “Management of Special Libraries” but many smaller public libraries have some of the same characteristics of special libraries so those skills came into use during this project.
