Thinking more about libraries and design – graphic designer Michael Bierut gave a presentation a while back about the Library Initiative, a project to build new school libraries in elementary schools throughout the five boroughs of New York City, and I think this presentation is one that a lot of librarians will appreciate. So far the initiative has built more than 60 new school libraries in NYC, all of which look absolutely beautiful, and incorporate Bierut’s logo for the project:
He’s kind of disparaging about the logo in his presentation, but I just love it! L!brary. Anywho, it’s a very funny talk and also underscores some of the important aspects of library design and who it’s for (bit of a spoiler: it’s for us!).
