Karen Watson is an Architect of 36 years experience. She and her librarian partner, Robert, are a consultancy partnership called PLAN22 Archibrarians, devoted to helping librarians determine community needs and to use them to form the basis for achieving excellence in library design of any scale.

Our mission: to empower librarians to lead the building project – start to finish. I am particularly interested in coaching librarians to effectively communicate their libraries’ needs to architects.
