Facility conditions assessments and master planning for libraries
Two items – a Facility Conditions Assessment (FCA) and a master plan — can help libraries ensure proper funds are raised from bond issues or tax increases to address all needed facility improvements. In this paper, we will cover in detail what exactly an FCA and master plan are, the differences between the two and what they help libraries accomplish.
Library safety and security
By taking a few key steps, your library can remain an inviting, fun place for patrons of all ages, while keeping safety a top priority.
Promoting culinary literacy with library kitchens
Kitchens are becoming a valuable resource in many library facilities. Adding a kitchen to your library offers opportunities to expand your program offerings and community partnerships.
