In Arapahoe County, CO, he does and even campaigned for the successful hol- iday season operating levy for the library. The stories that . come out of this year's referenda reinforce the political nature of libraries, both good and bad. They range from the tennis court squabble that nearly sunk a new library building in Peachtree, GA, to the Ottumwa, lA, city council shell rates of the late 1990s, which were gen- game with the newly voter-approved li- erally in the high 80 percent and up brary levy.

While this approval rate was higher than the 60 percent of 2002, which was the lowest since 1988, it still did not begin to approach the approval Anne Marie Gold is Director, Sacramento Public Library.

Half the states had buildings on the ballot, with New York leading the way with ten projects in front of the voters. Over the past 17 years, voters have approved over $5,9 billion for new li- braries, an amount that not only has helped improve library service nation- wide but which has also served as a ma- jor economic stimulant. Of the 48 operating referenda, 33 (69%) passed. This is in line with the passage rates of the last couple of years. Only 14 states had operating referenda on the ballot, including New York, which has its own unique take on tak- ing it to the voters, with library patrons voting literally in the library on an an- nual basis if there is .an increase re- quested. New York, not included in the total operating referenda in this report, has 175 p<;>tential elections each year. A good campaign run well The New England town meeting, a remnant of an earlier, simpler Arrierica, proved to be a library's best friend. In Monroe, CT, on September 29 at a town meeting sporting the highest attendance in town history, an overwhelming vote of 204 to 7 resulted in a new 30,000 square foot library for the small com- munity. In the quaintly worded warrant for the Newport, NH, town meeting, jumbled among articles to buy dump trucks and save the Belknap Street Bridge, residents were asked "To see if ~T 1 i ! l I , i j I I I .1 j1 :1 :1 q :'1 .., 1:1 ;~ l~ '~l' R1 ;~jl il ., lj :1 i.ll .~.

REFERENDA lems that we had hoped to address with the increases would still exist and would go unaddressed for now," In West VlIginia, voters supported their libraries statewide, albeit at small dollar amounts, In Kingwood, heavy snow on Election Day February 15, 2003 contributed to a very small turnout, 124 voters out of the 1,883 reg- istered. However, library stalwarts were undeterred by the weather, and 117 of them insured success at the polls for the Kingwood Public Library. Waiting to get on the ballot didn't help libraries in 2003. For those operat- ing referenda from December 2002 through May 2003, only ten percent failed, Coming into the summer months of June through August, 18 percent of bids failed, By the end of the year, Sep- tember through November, 22 percent of all measures failed. Perhaps the combina- tion of the lingering fiscal malaise as well as the war in Iraq served to sap voter con- fidence. In California, the term tossed around after the gubernatorial election in October was voter fatigue, and, as hap- pens too often, what started in the land of fruit and nuts looks like it spread eastward. &::ZJ!I!lEJ Seventeen-Year Summary of Referenda for Public Library Buildings OTHER YEAR # PERCENTAGE AMOUNT von ELECTION BALLOT ITEMS PASS FAIL PRO CON GEN SPEC YES NO 2003 59 76% 24% $434,462,495 63% 37% 39% 61% 61% 39% 2002 43 60% 40% 430,318,317 57% 43% 58% 42% 81% 19% 2001' 41 80% 20% 273,788,000 61% 39% 46% 54% 56% 44% 2000" 64 91% 9% 877,236,818 59% 41% 48% 52% 77% 23% 1999 56 88% 12% 736,801,158 65% 35% 57% 43% 60% 40% 1998 55 71% 29% 361,056,500 62% 38% 60% 40% 44% 56% 1997 58 84% 16% 367,944,431 64% 60% 67% 33% 53% 47% 1996 64 89% 11% 288,235,877 67% 33%' 52% 48% 53% 47% 1995 45 87% 13% 169,077,636 65% 35% 64% 36% 49% 51% 1994 53 72% 28% 244,389,778 61% 39% 53% 47% 36% 64% 1993 56 75% 25% 185,874,983 61% 39% 64% 36% 45% 55% 1992 23 74% 26% 227,665,000 59% 41% 65% 35% 43% 57% 1991 46 85% 15% 348,420,142 63% 37% 65% 35% 54% 46% 1990 49 80% 20% 182,755,394 65% 350/. 59% 41% 51% 49% 1989 51 75% 25% 394,759,648 61% 39% 65% 35% 41% 59% 1988 45 64% 36% 138,475,602 61% 39% 60% 40% 58% 42% 1987 54 93% 7% 241,927,899 69% 31% 69% 31% 67% 33% TOTAL/AVERAGES H .

The expansion program calls I for the construction of 5 new library facilities as follows: I Sanford Library - A new facility located on Com- mercial and Palmetto Streets of approximately 12,000 square feet will replace the existing facility located on 1st and Palmetto. The old facility will house the Technical Services unit presently located in Casselberry. The building program has been completed and design is underway. I I I Forest City Library - A new facility of. approx- imately 12,000 square feet. Site not yet. selected. I Oviedo Library - A new facility of approximately 12,000 square feet to be located on Division Street in Oviedo. f Casselberry Library - A new facility of approx- imately 25,000 square feet to be located on Oxford Road Extension will replace the existing lease facility in the Seminole Plaza Shopping Center. I Ii Lake Mary Library - A new facility of approximately 12,000 square feet. Site not yet confirmed. r -1- I I' I The project schedule (Appendix I) details the time schedule and prioritization of construction for the I, entire project. This building program defines the areas and functions within the proposed expansion for use I by the architect in the design process for the Forest City/Wekiva, Oviedo, and Lake Mary libraries which will be identical in design. Preliminary equipment and fur- I nishing requirements may vary between libraries. As the design is developed, library needs will be more specifically detailed through review and refinement of the drawings in conjunction with the architect. I I All projects will be designed by the same' archi- tectural firm for consistency and cost savings. I " I j () ~ ...1 ~ V ,I ~ -2- I:; 10 I.

The following are key considerations to be taken into account during the design process in order to obtain the above stated goal. Flexibility: Maximum flexibility. of the building must Design: Monumental or architecturally stimulating !1 " .1 .j I) !1 !1 f . ~ !

Quality: Cost is a vital factor. However, quality and durability should not be subordinated to dollars. design flourishes are not desired where the result could be intimidating or impact negatively upon function and building costs. The facility will. be designed to accom- modate a possible 12,000 SF expansion in the future which will accommodate 1.5 books per capita. -4- I~' I I BUILDING BLOCK STANDARDS I Ten-year population projections are applied to books and reader seats to determine the building block standards which have been used to determine square foot- I age requirements. For expansion design purposes render- I, ings for doubling the size of this facility should be provided by the architect to meet library service needs in the year 2005 and beyond. Square footage totals I are net requirements. I Book Requirements are estimated at the rate of 1 book per capita for purposes of this project. E Stack Area is computed by assuming that every 15 books in the collection divided by 15 equals the approx- imate stack area required in terms of square feet. ~ Reader Seats are estimated by assuming (2) seats are needed for each 1,000 population served. ~ Ij Reader Seat Area is computed by assuming that 14 ~ sq. ft. per seat is required. the total building area). (Approximately 15% of r Staff Work Area and Lounge is computyd as approxi- mately 15% of the total building area. Non-assignable Area is computed by assuming the H/VAC, corridors, restrooms, storage areas, walls, lobby, etc., comprise 20% of the building area. Auditorium space is designated as 1,000 sq. ft. r I 1 'i J *All formulas are flexible and can be varied slightly when approved by owners. -5- I:' , I- I r f I t ~ f ~ GENERAL DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS Acoustical considerations are extremely important for every room and area of the building. Mechanical equipment, restrooms, workroom area, staff lounge, meet- ing room, and receiving area should have special treat- ment so that noise from these functions does not inter- fere with library usage. Aesthetic considerations should be given considera- tion throughout the building but are secondary to the objective of a comfortable, user-oriented facility. Picture hanging moulding should be installed in the auditorium, office spaces, and wherever else possible throughout the pUblic areas of the building. Auditorium consideration should be given to the possibility of after hours usage by outside agencies, which would require exclusion of the auditorium from other areas of the building as needed. The auditorium should be equipped with sink and counter cabinet space separate from the main auditorium area. Separate locked storage area for aUdiovisual equipment should be sup- plied. Consideration should be given to dividing the auditorium space with accordian doors. Book Drop: Curb-side, drive up, fireproof book- drop being considered. However, isolated fireproof drop into the building directly will be considered as an alternative. Specifications to be determined at a later date. Building Configuration to Site: Entry at sidewalk grade with no surface break or barrier is required. Library materials loading should be located at the rear of the building and be primarily designed to accommodate library operations. -6- 1'- I' I Building Exterior: A low maintenance exterior surface such as concrete, brick, etc., is preferred. I Public and staff entries should be covered. There will I be a provision for automatic dusk-to-dawn exterior light- ing for the security of people. The exterior will min- imize hiding and Sleeping areas. Building Interior: Painted walls should be kept I to a minimum. Consideration should be given to use I of washable wallpaper in high usage areas. Ceilings should be 8 ft. minimum, 8 ft. 6 in. pre- ferable. ~ Clocks: To be located at easy-to-see locations throughout the building. They will be electric clocks controlled at a central location. (centrally controlled I location is negotiable). Control/Visual: Maximum staff visual control over ~ all public areas is required. Communications/Cablinp;: A sys tem of conduit, run- ways or other means of networking should be provided throughout the new building to accommodate telephone lines, the pUblic address system, and data (computer) ~ r; communications lines. This network should allow for flexibility in the location of computer 'terminals and I] telephones. Cable outlets will also be required in [' I: , potential terminal locations. This network is different from the one provided for the electrical system and must be separate. Electricity Supply: Outlets are generally to be placed 15 feet apart. A system of conduit or runways should be provided throughout the new building for max- imum flexibility and use if cost allows. Isolated ground outlets will also be required in potential terminal and copier locations. Strategically placed, protected -7- I" " I' I electrical outlets should be placed on the outside of the new building in landscaped areas. Panels and switches in negotiated locations. I f Energy Efficiency is a major concern in all aspects of the building. Entry/Exit: There will be a single covered pUblic I entry/exit required. with automated doors. Sliding doors are There will be one covered staff entry near I staff parking area with security considerations and lighting for entry when library is closed. Emergency ~ exi ts with security lighting will be provided as re- quired by code. f Floors: All floors must easily accept hand-pushed, rolling book trucks. There should be no raised sills, thresholds, inclines, or breaks. f Floor Covering: Floor covering will be high quality commercial carpet. Certain designated areas will be ~ I other non-skid covering. Carpet should be laid before [i 1 book stacks are installed with the possibility of simple replacement in high wear areas. Floor Load: 150 pounds per square fpot live load capacity. Floor capacity throughout the entire building should be designed to accommodate stacks. Note: Microforms create a dead load of up to 300 lbs. per sq. ft. Furni ture and Equipment: separately in detail. These will be addressed -8- ! " :~ ~ ':1 1 ~ ;j ~ ! ~ ;1 ~ HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning) : The objectives for these areas are adequacy, constancy, low energy, low humidity and ease of maintenance. r" I" I Landscaping Treatment: There should be a sprinkler r system installed with automatic control. (hiding/sleeping) areas should be minimized. Invisible Lighting: The lighting system will have a ceiling " source, uniform distribution, be of a low-energy type. and be the same throughout the building. Bulbs/tubes 70 - 80 (: will be easily accessible for replacement. foot candles of good quality light for all reading and work areas.

Lighting decisions will take into consider- ation all factors such as color. contrast. glare. re- I: f flection. and shadows. Lighting should be consistent in stack and reading areas as they may have to be inter- changed in the future. r Mirrors: Convex Mirrors will be placed in appro- fi I;; priate areas to allow staff at circulation desk to have maximum visibility over as much of the building as pos- sible. r Modular Design: Open space flexibility is of prime importance. r Open Stacks: Users will have direct access to r 99% of library materials. Outside User Space: None! Parking: Staff and user parking will be accom- r modated on site as required by municipal/county codes. r.' Physically Handicapped Access: See FS 1977 Supple- ment, Ch. 78-333. Sect. 553.45, 553.49. "I -9- I" . I I. Public Address System: There will be a PA system throughout the building, designed for selective or com- r plete use. Master control will be in the circulation/ f workroom area and system should be compatible for usage from any telephone in the building. Restrooms, Public: Shall be adequate according f to code and logically located. Designed for vandal resistance and easily visible to pUblic and staff. Floor to ceiling ceramic tile is required. Infant chang- f ing counter required in women's restroom. Immediate ~ access from auditorium area is requested so that rest- rooms are available to users of the auditorium after [I 1 library hours, when access to the library would be pro- hibited. Restrooms, Staff: Staff restrooms should be in nonpublic area. nor visibility. Vandal resistance is not required, Should be adj acent to either lounge or workroom area. Security Systems: There will.be a variety of build- ing systems which will require much planning, and con- sideration. Necessary Items: Heat-smoke alarm) detection (fire Materials check-out system Night lighting (Security, 24 hour lights) Materials security system (Checkpoint) Computer System Signage/Graphics: Signs will be addressed at a later date when building design has been finalized. Signs will include interior and exterior directions, identification, etc. and well lit.

Telephones: Extensive telephone capability will be provided throughout the building. Foyer should be designed to accommodate one public pay phone. (Stand- ardize with Bell). Usability: In planning, designing and construction of the building, the behavioral patterns and needs of users as people must always be a prime consideration. r f: f Walls: It is preferred that walls throughout the building not be weight bearing. The use of columns for support is preferred. Water Fountain: Wall mounted water fountains are required for children and adults in the circulation area. Children's fountain should be mounted at a lower level. -11- I- I I- I I r I: f LOADING/ RECEIVING J f r r BASIC SPACE RELATIONSHIP Note: Size and shape are not of consequence. Key: 1.
