A Prototype System

• Ten Community Libraries:17, 000 Square Feet each (Total 170,000)50,000 Collection each (Total 500,000)

&• Two Regional Libraries:

• 65,000 & 70,000 Square Feet• 250,000 & 300,000 Collections

• Total: 300,000 Sq Ft & 1,050,000 Collection


Committee Consensus?

• STPL should be an “Excellent” system by Louisiana Standards

• STPL should be in the 90th percentile by National Standards

• Population in 20 years will be at least 300,000• Collection size should total 3.5 items per capita

(1,050,000 items)• 300,000 or more sq ft will be needed to house the

collection and the serve the citizens of St. Tammany
