ABSTRACT

A library is a well-planned facility where information’s are curated collection from a source or similar resources, selected by experts and are made accessible to a defined community for reference or borrowing is of high importance. A library that is designed with keen consideration on proper spatial organization and relationship to optimize efficiency and ensure it is a digitally considered space. Library should no longer be confined places  but should adopt and open spatial plan that will allow interaction between scholars this why including  learning commons are necessary, in line with this, emphasis on design methods that will allow for purpose is highlighted here. The functionality of the library space and how this space relate is dependent on how functional and the spaces flow into themselves. Principles and guidelines in achieving this paper carefully examined.  This paper therefore seeks to emphasize principles that should be adhered, to ensure the optimization of space and how they relate to themselves through the review of studies and related articles.

Keywords: Library, Spatial Organization, Optimal Efficiency, Learning Common.
