This branch library serves a community with a long rural history and a strong vision for future development. The renovation and addition to this existing branch is a pioneering civic project for both the Town and the Library as Studio. The identity of the library is rooted in a back porch feeling and has a focus on children’s services. Outdoor program spaces seek to connect to the larger community through park settings and neighboring ball fields, and the interior program has a market square concept to provide maximum flexibility for multi-faceted programming within a small footprint. A sensitive addition expands the program area to allow for a community gathering space, a maker space, and expanded computer access.
