A practical guide to library construction

Library construction combines building decisions with coordination among the people responsible for planning and delivery. Richard McCarthy’s guide addresses those relationships and the management of a complex project, with attention to budgeting and the responsibilities of both sides. Checklists and sample construction documents give the book a hands-on component alongside its overview of the process. The subject is specifically public library buildings, making this a focused resource on planning and managing that kind of construction project.
