Episode Five tackles a topic close to host Phil Morehart's heart: library architecture and design. As editor of American Libraries Magazine's annual Library Design Showcase, Morehart was primed and perfectly suited to talk to this episode's three guests:

Brian Lee from Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill, the chief architect behind Chicago Public Library's new, award-winning Chinatown branch. Lee and Morehart discuss the new Chinatown library and importance of a library integrating itself and reflecting the community in which it serves.

Kimberly Bolan, the library consultant behind Kimberly Bolan and Associates and author of "Teen Spaces: The Step-by-Step Library Makeover." Bolan and Morehart talk about the importance of teen spaces in libraries.

Fred Schlipf, Professor Emeritus at the University of Illinois, Urbana. Schlipf and Morehart take off the gloves to talk about bad library design and how libraries can prevent it.
