How to plan a library building for library work

** "How to Plan a Library Building for Library Work" by Charles C. Soule is a handbook from the early 1900s about designing and building libraries. The book concentrates on how to make libraries useful and adaptable for the communities they serve, rather than focusing on just making them look pretty. It argues that librarians, architects, and committees should work together to create buildings that are both good-looking and work well. The author shares fundamental rules for library spaces, highlights how library designs have changed over time, and stresses planning for future expansion and needs. By the start of the book, the author shows his strong conviction that libraries should be built as practical places for the future. **
