4. 12 Years After the Blue Ribbon Task Force on Libraries,
12 Lessons Learned
1. Cookie cutters are great… for baking cookies
2. A great library’s most important attribute? Its location
3. Natural light is essential – but be mindful of direct sunlight
4. Teens have a lot going on in their lives
5. Libraries should not be warehouses
6. New and renovated basement spaces are still basements
7. With better sightlines comes better security
8. Community rooms designed to fit up to 100 people don’t really fit 100 people
9. Staff don’t grow on trees
10. Buildings don’t take care of themselves
11. Aesthetics, of course; But functionality above all
12. When you’re done with all your scheduled community meetings, schedule a community
meeting

5. What We’ve Heard So Far…
1. “lounge space with comfy chairs”
2. “computer classes”
3. “bigger space for children and babies”
4. “more meeting spaces”
