Interim Lakewood Pierce County Library
|
|
|
The interim Lakewood Pierce County Library remains a top priority for the Pierce County Library System. The Library is working with Modern Building Systems, Inc. (MBS), architects and various government agencies, including the City of Lakewood, for building requirements needed for the interim library. A preliminary rendering of the interim library is pictured above.
MBS is making the production of the building a priority. The approximately 7,500-square-foot library will offer full services including browsing shelves and checking out books, using computers, participating in classes and events, and spaces for reading, studying, and public meetings.
These images provide a preliminary look at some design and layout ideas for the interim library. Some furniture from the Lakewood Library on Wildaire Road will be reused in the new building, with the addition of new furniture to provide comfortable and inviting spaces.
