Content Driving principles Purposes and limitations Good examples Not-so-good examples What I want to do
“comprehensive and efficient”
“for all persons desiring to make use thereof”
BOOKS ARE FOR USE
EVERY READER HIS BOOK
EVERY BOOK ITS READER
SAVE THE TIME OF THE READER
THE LIBRARY IS A GROWING ORGANISM
“Maybe it’s because we’re a leisure trust...”
Why?
“We want a Facebook/Twitter/what ever page”
