About the Author
Fred Schlipf has been hanging out in library buildings since the early 1940s (at about the age of four, he turned out all the lights in the Detroit Lakes [Minnesota] Public Library one evening—a happy moment that is still both bright and dark in his memory) and has been working for libraries and teaching about libraries and consulting on libraries since he was 17. He was a library school faculty member at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign for over 50 years, specializing in library buildings and library administration, and he spent nearly 33 years as director of The Urbana Free Library, the public library of Urbana, Illinois. He’s done formal building consulting for about 200 libraries. He has a PhD from the Graduate Library School of the University of Chicago. He has served on dozens of committees and task forces of the American Library Association, the Illinois State Library, the Illinois Library Association, local library groups in Illinois, and the Illumination Engineering Society of North America. He has given presentations at many conferences. He was Illinois Librarian of the Year in 2000.
Joe Huberty grew up in a small branch of the Milwaukee Public Library and was doomed to be an architect after reading Harold and the Purple Crayon. Too many years later, he is a partner with Engberg Anderson Architects. He has spent the last 30+ years planning and designing award-winning and much-loved libraries across the nation, mostly so he can hang out with librarians. Joe sees architecture as a practical art that provides future-friendly, pragmatic, and functional space that is comfortable, aspirational, and inspirational. Libraries are the ultimate embodiment of the relationship between people, services, and space. His work for public and academic libraries has been the subject of multiple presentations at state and national conferences. Joe is a licensed architect in Alabama, Arizona, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, Oregon, Utah, Virginia, and Wisconsin.
John A. Moorman has worked as director of five public libraries and a multi-type library system, most recently the Decatur (Illinois) Public Library and the Williamsburg (Virginia) Regional Library. He has a PhD from the University of Illinois library school. He has been active in state and national library associations. When not working with buildings, he developed a specialty in legislative matters, served as a registered lobbyist, and chaired legislative-related committees for the Illinois and Virginia Library Associations. He is a past president of the Virginia Library Association and a lifelong elected honorary member of that association. Within the American Library Association (ALA) he served on the Public Library Association’s Board of Directors, the ALA Council, and the ALA Executive Board, as well as serving on, and chairing, many committees and task forces."About the title" may belong to another edition of this title.
