The
school library facility can and should provide the appropriate
learning environment to support the instructional program
of the school. Facility plans are unique to each
school but have common characteristics.
Comfort, welcome, and user-friendly
are keys to successful school library facilities.

When school library facilities are being
designed or renovated the following principles should be considered:
 layout should reflect the
way it will be used (form follows function)
design should include: aesthetics and ergonomics
access to resources, space, and information must be
equitable for all users
traffic flow, safety, security must be ensured
space must accommodate the needs of the users, as
well as storage and
processing
