Core Webinar: Library Reboot for the Mid-21st Century

Date: Tuesday, April 8, 2025

All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11 am Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1 pm Central, and 2 pm Eastern time.



Description:

This presentation will help pull the shroud of mystery off library design
by briefly exploring the history and roots of 20th century libraries
through the interplay of technology, space design, information access, and
services that continue to drive the design of Mid-21st century libraries.
Beginning with a broad overview of the history of libraries and key aspects
of library design from ancient to modern, we will survey programmatic
elements and design concepts that inform contemporary library design. We
will explore programmatic themes from physical asset management approaches,
to partnering, space activation, and cross programming in both public and
academic libraries to frame the discussion on rebooting library design for
the Mid-21st Century to create legible, permeable, transparent, and
connected library buildings.

Learning outcomes:

At the end of the webinar, attendees will:

   -

   understand the historic context of libraries and the broad arc of how
   information and technologies impact the design of library facilities.
   -

   gain an awareness of 21st century library physical asset management
   trends and digital information access trends to inform the conversation for
   their next library building project
   -

   be equipped to discuss with their internal library stakeholder team and
   with design professionals current building program trends to position their
   library for success in the mid-21st century.

Who should attend?

Public and academic libraries & librarians considering or beginning a
library building facility programming, renovation, or construction project
to base conversations in both the history and current trajectory for
library facilities.
