Throughout the fall/winter of 2023-2024, the ICfL in partnership with Library Strategies, will be offering a series of webinars focused on the various aspects of library facility improvements and capital projects, with a specific focus on public libraries and rural communities. Whether you are a library just starting your building journey or are already in the middle of construction, there will be something for everyone!
These webinars are free and open to Idaho’s entire library community, however registration is required. We will also be recording all the webinars and posting them on our website for future access (no registration required to access the recordings).

Description: Today’s renovation and expansion projects factor in emerging trends and strive to incorporate best practices in library service. This webinar will offer a crash course in the elements that are most relevant for small and rural libraries. Remodels, Expansions, and Rebuilds “101” will also 1) compare and contrast the advantages and shortcomings associated with interior renovations, expansion of existing facilities, and the construction of new buildings and, if time permits, 2) offer a primer on how to determine project costs.
This webinar is made possible through funding from the US Treasury Department’s Capital Project Funds (CDFA # 21.029 CPF).
