Designing libraries

This is a resource for all those interested in, or involved with, library planning, design and builiding. The website includes a search engine to find examples of the latest library buildings, ranging from public libraries to schools, colleges and universities, both in the UK and in the Republic of Ireland. It’s also possible to submit new library building information to the database.

The site has the latest updates on new library openings, refurbishments and proposals and a gallery of eye-catching images with a search facility.

Another feature of the site is a marketplace section where there are links to companies offering products and services relevant to library planning and design.
