PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The library provides ample space for a wide selection of literature, a children's reading area and five public computers. A 700 square-foot community room doubles as a reading lounge that can be secured and separated from the rest of the library by folding partitions. At capacity, the library will hold approximately 15,000 items.
The building's design is rooted in the context of the surrounding community. Windows and canopies provide views to Kolob Canyon and Pine Valley Mountain. A sandstone veneer gives reference to the area's pioneer heritage and natural elements.
