Library Redesign
Workshop #2
This full-day workshop is about re-thinking existing library space in a way that aligns its use with the library's mission and vision. Arlene Thompson will share the changes made to improve the function and appeal of branches of the London Public Library. Architect Tina Ranieri-D'Ovidio will explain the design process. Throughout the day, participants will earn about trends in library design that can be incorporated into existing library space.

She has worked for LPL since 1990, as a Branch Manager since 1992. Since 2000, she has functioned as Project Manager for several branch library building projects (Crouch, East London, and Jalna). In 2007, Arlene was Project Manager for a "facelift" of the Pond Mills Branch and for the arrangement of public and staff areas at the Central Library.
