Join us for a day-long collaborative
event on building and design! We are extending the early-bird pricing for Library Journal's Design Institute! Register by Friday, March 17 and save 40% off the registration fee. Come together with librarians, architects, and product sponsors to explore building, renovating, and retrofitting spaces both large and small that will support your library, and engage and empower your community.
Reserve your place before Friday, March 24th and you can be eligible to work directly with an expert architect on your library's design challenge and have the results featured in one of the breakout sessions during the event.
Design Institute's latest interactive expert panel discussions include:
Trends in Library Design
Architects will present their latest takes on renovating and retrofitting buildings, whether Carnegie, 1960s-era brutalist, or more modern designs.
Shrinking Collections, Expanding and Evolving Expectations
How have user needs changed in just the last few years—and how do we adapt library spaces?
Speed-sessions with architects and product sponsors will give you one-on-one time to address your own questions. Hear about recently constructed or renovated libraries that will spur solutions to your design challenges. Bring photos, illustrations, floor plans, or plat maps to help you move to the next phase of planning.
