BEYOND THE STATS
- Our design for the Children’s Library addition to the original 1982 Thousand Oaks Library respects the distinctive architectural massing and saw-tooth roof of the existing building.
- High sloping ceilings and north facing clerestory windows flood the library with natural light, and a wood and glass paneled wall outlining the southern California coastline defines the spacious collection area. A saltwater aquarium nestled in a cozy space with multi-colored porthole lights and sea blue walls provides a dramatic link between the existing and new wings.
- Adjacent to the triangular shaped storytelling room is an intimate children’s garden, and an informal courtyard invites library patrons to enjoy coffee and reading in a shaded outdoor setting.
Underwood Family Farm
Just a few minutes north of Thousand Oaks, your family can enjoy a real farm experience by picking your own fruits and vegetables. As an added bonus for the kids, there is a pony ride, a tractor ride, and a petting zoo.
