Excerpt from A Design for an University Library
There are three distinct types of libraries public, reference, and college or university libraries. Each class possesses certain inherent characteristics that must be regarded in the planning of such a building, but these are minor features and do not affeet the broad underlying principles that govern the design of all library buildings.
To design a specific building intelligently, it is first nec~ essary to know the requirements of the plan, requirements that will admit of successful use of the finished structure. Before going ihto details regarding the planning of any particular type, let us review the history of library development to more firmly fix in mind the features that must not be overlooked in the successful librery building of the present time.
