Booklist Review

The first edition of this title was published a decade ago, and author Woodward has now brought her work into the twenty-first century by not only describing the planning process but putting emphasis on green building, sustainability, and the importance of building flexible facilities. This is a guide for the library director to use in planning a construction project. It also gives the novice builder an overview of what to expect, who to trust, and where to get information. Woodward provides valuable advice on which battles to win and which to concede. Sidebars of quotes from people who have been through the building process provide more real-life perspective. Useful for a library with a building project on the horizon.--Stipek, Kathleen Copyright 2010 Booklist
