商品簡介
As an architect who has designed numerous libraries and who is a veteran library trustee in Illinois, McCarthy offers practical advice on library building projects. The guide includes process checklists and sample construction documents (e.g., request for proposals, advertisement for bids, and "punch" list--a list of items to be completed/corrected by the contractor). He addresses weighing the case for remodeling vs. constructing a new building, and best practices in hiring and working with an architect, site analysis, and sustainable design. The book is lightly illustrated. Annotation c2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
