1. Motivations
- Some building projects occur because of unanticipated gifts, but most are the result of long-standing space, service and structural needs.
- Ideally, libraries will review the adequacy of their structures every few years and take quick steps to cure problems.
- However, most libraries struggle for years with inadequate buildings before they are actually able to meet their needs.
- Don't make the mistake of assuming that all you have to do is cure one or two obvious problems. Solving one problem at a time is terribly expensive, and you may paint yourself into a corner in the process.
- Start by forming a building committee with board and staff members.
