Modern libraries are increasingly designed as communityoriented spaces that foster collaboration, learning, and social engagement. Balancing functionality, inclusivity, and aesthetics ensures that libraries remain cultural and educational centers. Library Spaces and Community Needs explores how physical and virtual library environments are planned to meet evolving community expectations. The book discusses spatial design, accessibility, flexible workspaces, and sustainability in architecture. It also examines the role of libraries in supporting creativity, digital literacy, and social connection. By integrating design philosophy with community analysis, it serves as a practical guide for creating libraries that reflect the needs and values of diverse populations.
