Dear Librarians of Temple Libraries, Our small temple is thriving and diverse, with an active membership (about 170+ families), located in a lovely--but in need of repair-- turn-of-the-century house.
We are renovating our existing space to include a small library dimensions: 12 x 20 240 square feet The Library committee would love to give the architect and building planning committee some guidance, in terms of what is necessary for the successful establishment of a small, well-organized, well-equipped temple library. Shelving how many and dimensions--all details, furniture, lighting, catalog stations (or not), book stands, etc. Any and every detail we should consider, because if we want input and want to be happy with our space, it is up to us to let them know what's important. We would love your input, please! Please be specific with your feedback. We could really use the advice of those who have been through this process. Tell us what you like and don't like about your temple library! Thanks so much.
