BEYOND THE STATS

• The design of the Palisades Library, set in a park and surrounded by large existing trees, was derived from numerous community meetings and was enthusiastically embraced for its rustic yet contemporary feeling and for its varied use of contrasting materials.
• The K-shaped plan provides an organizational structure for the different program elements. With a circulation desk at its center, the reading rooms for adults, young adults and children pinwheel into three wings. A fourth wing contains a multi-purpose room and kitchen.
• Multiple patios for outside reading and public gatherings complete the integration with the surrounding park landscape.

Palisades Park and Recreation Center

• Great community park adjacent to the library with a playground, picnic areas, a gym—activities for everyone!
