>> Annual Library Space Planning Workshop
>>
>> Workshop
>> Helps New Orleans Public Libraries to Succeed after Hurricane Katrina
>>
>> *New Orleans**, LA** -* The purpose for *"Resigning the Libraries
>> with Limited Funds"* is to inform Librarians of the benefits and
>> urgent necessity of cost effective design and the consideration of
>> disaster planning in the construction of our community libraries.
>>
>> To renovate a library with limited resources, it is essential to
>> understand the basic facility requirements for collections, staff,
>> users, programs, meetings, and social spaces. This 1-day workshop
>> will address opportunities in library building design and options for
>> rebuilding interiors.
>>
>> The day will run from *9:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M.* During the session,
>> emphasis will be placed upon existing facilities and techniques for
>> improvements with limited resources. Attendees will share methods to
>> develop welcoming environments and participate in a facilitated
>> discussion that focuses on what patrons want to visit and need to use.
>>
>> In Post-Katrina New Orleans, the Libraries must be rebuilt with
>> limited funds. By attending a day with local librarians who
>> experienced the reality of Post-Katrina service issues this is a
>> unique opportunity to learn from their experiences. The group will
>> share ways to improve the facility, and renovate space with limited
>> funds. Facilitators will help attendees develop a forward-thinking,
>> high-tech, and environmentally conscious designs. Experts will tour a
>> New Orleans Library facility, participate in a visual scan of damaged
>> spaces, learn from building experts to gain an understanding of best
>> practice planning activities.
>>
>> The library is a place for browsing, electronic access,
>> group-to-group interactions, and individual study and research. These
>> unique services need to be rebuilt with local resources. For example,
>> plans to renovate a facility must include cost-effective building
>> solutions and imagination. Funding approvals are usually based on
>> clear answers to the
>>
>> following questions.
>>
>> /* What does the library have compared to what it needs?
>>
>> /* How can redundancies be reduced and materials processing streamlined?
>>
>> /* Can the renovation create an image; an idea; excitement for the
>> community?
>>
>> /* What strategies are needed to launch a cost effective improvement
>> program?
>>
>> Aaron Cohen Associates LTD has over 35 years experience in the
>> development of short and long range library building studies for Public,
>>
>> School, Academic, Law, Medical, Corporate and Government Libraries.

>> *About Aaron Cohen Associates, Ltd*
>>
>> Aaron Cohen Associates LTD began in the early 1970's when our
>> founder, Aaron Cohen, led the first library space planning workshop
>> for the U.S. Federal Government. This began our 35-year involvement
>> with research, public and academic libraries. Soon the practice
>> expanded to include government, law, medical, school and
>> corporate/special libraries. This has enabled us to gain in-depth
>> knowledge of the ways in which libraries
>>
>> function and their dependence upon their facilities. For over 35
>> years, ACA's international associates have supported traditional and
>> groundbreaking library services with practical outcomes. We support
>> architectural efforts with models for library building and develop
>> innovative service programs. Each project enables us leverage our
>> experience and adapt to a new generation of information savvy
>> librarians. Our team examines the impact on libraries of information
>> technology, efficient circulation services and flexible collaboration
>> spaces. We must also account for new and different types of human
>> behavior associated with learning. We support special collections
>> projects and archives. Our experience is broad: projects have ranged
>> in size from the very small to very large urban libraries.
