Johnson Favaro assisted the City in transforming the teen and children’s area to be open, flexible spaces for all to study, socialize, create, explore and learn. The 7,800 SF renovation of the Children’s Library includes a relocated all-glass entrance, a central activity area to facilitate story time, arts and crafts, and STEAM activities, a new Early Children’s section, and an enclosed study area that is reminiscent of a traditional Reading Room. Dispersed throughout the Children’s Library will be seating, tables, technology stations, interactive learn/play elements, collaborative learning space and reading nooks. The wall between the Main Hall of the Library and the Children’s Library will become all glass to allow in natural light while making visible the imaginative inner world of the Children’s Library. The 2,200 SF renovation of the Teen’s area will include two glass enclosed collaboration rooms, a fully outfitted recording studio with a separate control room, and a video wall for gaming and other activities. The center of the room will remain completely open and flexible for furniture to be infinitely rearranged to meet the everchanging needs and ideas of the teens and librarians.
