This publication brings together a range of building projects from National, Academic and Public Libraries from different countries of the world showing how these libraries are able to continue to provide high quality library space that is affordable in times of difficult economic circumstances. We will hear about the building processes, co-operation with architects and engineers and how librarians and users have reacted to these new buildings.
