Special features such as RFID, signage, acoustics or specific structural load issues are explained in texts by experts from the fields of architecture and library science. Approximately 40 best-practice case studies of contemporary library design are documented extensively, such as Jo Coenen's Openbare Bibliotheek Amsterdam and Alvaro Siza's Public Library Viana do Castelo in Portugal.
