I'd strongly suggest NOT having flexible shelves as I never wake up and think "hey, today I'd like all my nonfiction to be with my picture books"...however, your admin will LOVE having a meeting space and then the library gets moved around multiple times. I also strongly suggest square or rectangular tables that can be reconfigured to many set ups rather than "pretty" or "cute" flexible seating that makes a flower or other art...again, never do I wake up and think "I want a flower, and not enough seats for all my students". I also suggest plugs EVERYwhere, in the tables, on the floor, in the ceiling, on the walls, in the center of the room..., etc. If the tables can be whiteboard tables, that's also useful for collaboration or just plain fun. <div><br></div><div>Just my 2 cents, happy to share more! <div><br></div><div>Thanks,<br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><table
