Mid-Valley Library

BEYOND THE STATS

• The Mid-Valley Library, set in a neighborhood park, is organized in a cross axial format. At the intersection of the building’s entry axis and long central axis is the reference desk, and floating above is a stepped pyramid roof, glazed in cobalt blue tile and topped by a translucent skylight. Small windows punctuate the pyramid, which sparkle at night.
• At the north end of the axis is a light-filled reading area and clock tower, which announces the library to the street. At the south end is the children’s library, where a storyteller’s throne is positioned under a fanciful teepee and surrounded by an imaginative landscape mural.

CSUN Orange Grove

• Feel free to pick you own oranges from this historic grove on the CSUN campus or join in the Big Pick program that donates the plentiful oranges to the non-profit food program, Food Forward.
