National Library Week, April 15-21 "Come together @ your library"

As we celebrate National Library Week it is important to note that the use of libraries in the Indianhead Federated Library System continues to grow while library budgets have remained relatively flat or have decreased in the past few years.

Patrons of our libraries have access to a wide variety of materials and services. Without dedicated library staff members and library boards such wonderful materials and services would not be possible. Thank you for all of your hard work.

New Library Space Planning Resources

IFLS has added several new library space planning resources on the IFLS Links for Librarians page -- http://www.ifls.lib.wi.us/links_for_librarians.asp#space

The Planning for New Library Space provides a brief overview of the space planning stages with links to additional resources. http://www.ifls.lib.wi.us/construction/Planning for New Library space.doc

The Designing Your New Library Space: A Visual Tour Power Point tour provides a visual look at some of the features that you may wish to consider in new library space as well as links to additional information. http://www.ifls.lib.wi.us/construction/Designing Your New Library Space.ppt#

In addition we have added several library building program statements that can assist you in developing your own building program statement. Building program statements assist in communicating your space needs to architects and designers.

Please watch for additional links in the coming months to assist you in planning new library space.
