Interior Planning of College and University Libraries 
(Continued from page 235) 

stimulating—it must be integrated with 
the remainder of the building, since the 
homogeneous f u n c t i o n of a library dic-
tates a constancy of atmosphere through-
out. T h u s , a continuity of color should 
be adhered to. If changes in general 
c o l o r combinations are made, they 
should be alterations of such subtlety 
that one is not directly conscious of the 
change. T h e building as a whole should, 
architecturally, be a single unified enti-
ty, and so should the colors carry out 
this policy of sustained uniformity. 
Otherwise the analogy of a library, or 
any building with a single functional 
purpose, w o u l d be lost. 

A great deal more c o u l d be said about 
color, and additional data submitted 
pertaining to the accomplishment of an 
homogeneous interior. However, the pri-
mary importance of color within the 
building cannot be underestimated, 

since this background definitely estab-
lishes the sensory impressions o n which 
are f o u n d e d the general reaction and 
ultimate success of the library. 

Every building program produces its 
o w n amalgam of problems, each of which 
must be solved in its o w n way. However, 
the general conditions mentioned here, 
as they pertain to interior planning, 
should be met. It is h o p e d that they will 
serve as an aid in organizing and ap-
proaching the arduous task of coordinat-
ing the interiors with the remaining 
phases of library planning. Functional 
efficiency, proper handling of materials 
and color, careful selection of equipment 
and furnishings, intelligent architectural 
and interior planning—all of these fac-
tors interrelate within the organization 
and development of the building pro-
gram, and each is essential to the crea-
tion of a successful library.
