New Library Floor Plan

[Joanne Proctor <jmproctor@CJNETWORKS.COM>]

HELP!!!

I just got a call (9 AM CDT) at home from my principal.  He wants a floor
plan for a new library to fit in a 30 by 60 foot space to take to an
architect Monday morning.  Of course I'm leaving town this afternoon.  I
knew there was talk about a new building but really didn't think (still
don't for that matter) it would really happen and certainly had no idea they
were going to want input this soon and had no idea what kind of space they
were talking about.  Our collection is currently about 13,000 in a space
that is a little less than half the size they are talking about.  The
shelves are packed tight, even after extensive weeding, and I am of course
thrilled at the thought of more space.  I have some stuff at school but
probably not for this space.  They particularly want to know about linear
feet of shelving and where I would want it.  Obviously, I want to leave room
for even more materials.   I also want to make sure there's enough
seating/instruction space which I don't have now.  The principal says this
is just a rough first draft.  Any suggestions?

Thanks for any advice you can give.
