Harrington Public Library (In Progress)

The building will consist of collection spaces, children’s and teen areas, maker space, meeting rooms, offices, storage, as well as other accommodations for the public.

The 15,000 SF library will sit on four acres on a site located just at the outskirts of town. This new building will replace an aging 5,000 SF facility. Taking design queues from the surrounding farms, the building is reminiscent of local agrarian construction. Clad with dark grey bricks, aluminum, and composite wood siding with an aged barn wood finish, the monochromatic exterior contrasts the warm natural wood tones of the interior. Expansive, floor to ceiling windows encourage a seamless blending of the interior and exterior, allowing natural light to flow into the interior spaces.

Designed for maximum flexibility and adaptability, all library furniture and shelving is mobile. Fully loaded shelving can be easily moved, allowing just a few staff members to quickly rearrange the space for specific needs.
