Great start - definitely looks like the current library needs some design help. Reading your summary, I would have expected to see either voting poll results or perhaps quotes from existing users and librarians. It would be helpful to understand the expectations people will have for community space. What are there requirements for space, seating, storage, kitchen, toilets, etc... A library offers a wonderful opportunity for a school to open itself up to the community. It might be helpful for those of your viewers who are not familiar with your school to sketch a floor plan - could be as simple as a diagram noting functions and paths of movement through the spaces.
Looking forward to observe your solutions develop over the coming weeks.

So are u guys thinking about the library lines, because it is a problem too when students cant check out their books. It's just something to think about.
