Library Journal's Design Institute at SFPL in May, first-time on West Coast

SACRAMENTO - Library Journal's Design Institute, a one-day think tank of librarians, leading architects, designers and vendors, is May 9 at the San Francisco Public Library. Previously held in New York and Chicago, this is the first time the innovative library building seminar will be held on the west coast.

Dubbed “Going Green,” and co-sponsored by the California State Library and the San Francisco Public Library, the May 9 Library Journal Design Institute will address energy conservation and the recycle-repurpose-reuse dictate for today’s library building programs.Through discussions, hands-on activities, and presentations, participants in all phases of the library building process will discover cutting-edge and economical solutions for green library construction.

State Librarian Susan Hildreth says, “It’s great that Library Journal is holding this inventive and solution-based seminar in San Francisco.  I encourage everyone who is involved in a building project, or who is thinking about one, to come join us on this invaluable day.”

Library Journal's Design Institute at the San Francisco Public Library is limited to 100 attendees. For more information, please contact LJthinktank@reedbusiness.com.
