I would start by researching small library and then move on to medium then to complex. the whole reason for this step is to find a common ground among big and small libraries. among the small libraries i would start with :

2. Upper Riccarton Community and School Library, by Warren and Mahoney Limited, located Christchurch, New Zealand.
3. Gentry Public Library, by Marlon Blackwell, located Gentry, Arkansas
