Reviews

McCarthy, a professional architect who has designed a number of libraries as well as served as a public library trustee for 12 years, discusses how to select and work with an architect and other building professionals in planning, designing, and constructing the library. Updating this volume from the 1995 edition to incorporate the changes in standards and procedures in the architectural field, the author has added a new chapter on project delivery and revised the appendixes to include a sample request for proposals, advertisement for bids, and a punch-list, a record of items that have not been completed by the contractor or are unacceptable.--WWW
