The 21st century community library must support a fusion of tangible and digital media, social and private spaces, research and teamwork while providing an overall sustainable learning environment. Hay Dobbs brings a multidisciplinary approach to the design of libraries infusing the facilities with lessons learned and best practices from civic, academic, research, corporate, retail and public environments. This fresh thinking has been acknowledged by librarians, users and community leaders for its ability to provide facilities of unforeseen value, flexibility and adaptability. This value is delivered on projects ranging from small rural libraries to libraries in major metropolitan areas.
