INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND
Impact
Although most of them were destroyed in later historical periods, the Ancient
Greek and Roman libraries clearly laid the foundation of today’s western library
systems. The establishment of private and public libraries had a significant
impact on the future. In addition, a lot of the bibliographical tools and techniques
that were developed in the classical antiquity are still used in our modern world.
TYPES OF LIBRARY
1. Academic Library,
2. Special Library,
4. National Library.
Academic Library:
Academic library is the library which is attached to academic institutions like
schools, colleges and universities. An academic library serves more specifically
the students, research scholars, teachers and staff of the academic institution.
Main objective of an academic library is to give maximum learning materials to its
clientele so that they may be fully educated in their respective level. Academic
libraries are categorized into school libraries, college libraries and university
libraries.
Special Library:
Special library became popular since the beginning of 20th century. A special
library is one which serves a particular group of people, such as the employees
of a firm of government department, or the staff and members of a professional
or research organization. Such a library deals essentially in information (Krishan
Kumar; 1987; 72)
Public Library:
A public library (also called circulating library) is a library which is accessible
by the public and is generally funded from public sources (such as tax money)
and may be operated by the civil servants. Taxing bodies for public libraries may
be at any level from local to national central government level. The public library
is an excellent model of government at its best. A locally controlled public good, it
serves every individual freely, in as much or as little depth as he or she wants.

National Library:
A national library is a library specifically established by the government of a
country to serve as the preeminent repository of information for that country.
Unlike public libraries, these rarely allow citizens to borrow books. Often, they
include numerous rare, valuable, or significant works. A National Library is that
library which has the duty of collecting and preserving the literature of the nation
within and outside the country, Thus, National Library are those libraries whose
community is the nation at large.
SPACE REQUIREMENTS
The staff work areas include sections such as reference desks and
circulation desks. Also important are areas such as staff break rooms and
administrative offices.
Meeting space
A meeting room is a space usually set aside for people to get together, often
informally to hold meetings, for issues to be discussed, priorities set and
decisions made. Many public libraries provide meeting rooms to accommodate
library-sponsored programs and other community meetings. The number and
size of meeting rooms should be determined by the library's anticipated
programming activities and by the availability of similar rooms elsewhere in the
community for use by other local groups. There are four broad types of meeting
room space commonly found in public libraries. General program space (with
lecture hall or theatre seating), conference room space, and children’s story-time
space are found in many libraries, and increasingly libraries are choosing to
provide dedicated space for a computer training lab. Depending on the demands
of its community, a library may have one or more general meeting or
programming rooms. If the library provides no other space for meetings and
programs, a general multi-purpose space will typically be the choice. In a smaller
library, this kind of room can support general library programs, board and
committee meetings, and children’s story-times.
Sample Designs
This project, which replaced an existing library on the same site, stands out
for its sculptural qualities and striking location, next to a reservoir. MARU
Architecture drew on this setting as well as the city’s character for their design.
‘When we visited Matsubara, we were struck by the reservoir ponds and ancient
tombs dotted throughout the city,’ explain the architects. ‘These man-made
structures were on a much larger scale than the residential neighborhoods
surrounding them, and over the course of many years had come to resemble
natural landforms. They brought to mind civil engineering projects on a grander
scale than architecture, reflecting our own project’s unique conditions—that is, a
library built in a pond.’ Photography: Shinkenchiku Sha
