Barclay and Scott (U. of California, Merced Libraries) provide a guide for librarians, administrators, board members, and students to library renovation, maintenance, and construction. They overview the process, including design and commissioning, building systems, plans, codes, and construction professionals; aspects of interiors such as spaces, furniture, paint, floor coverings, lighting, signage, and layout; and safety and security plans, keeping the building "green," running the library during renovation, and building maintenance. The companion CD-ROM has a glossary, blueprint symbols, photos, websites, and sample building plans. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
