This LEED Gold facility features nearly 20,000 square feet of space, making it the largest City Library branch, and offers over 40,000 items for circulation. Unique features consist of a prominent curvature from the front to the back of the building designed to provide sun protection at varying times of the year and a river that flows through the exterior and interior elements representing a nearby waterway that creates a historical tie-in. The library includes a large meeting facility, a designated teen space, a computer center, and a floor plan that offers open views across the building with vivid colors chosen from community design input.
