Understanding libraries is the key to their proper planning.

These critical public facilities must serve the complex needs of the patrons as well as the staff. They must do so while accommodating a potentially infinite collection and an ever-changing technology. Though their building programs are somewhat similar, we have found that each library has unique needs and services.

Through the numerous planning and design projects executed by Arcari & Iovino Architects, P.C., we have gained the indispensable understanding necessary to create an efficient and effective library. We are great listeners and always rely on the intuitive knowledge of the staff and director of each facility to comprehend their needs. Our solutions are a collaboration of these key persons and the firm’s experienced and skilled professionals who possess the passion for architecture and the art of library design.
