When someone mentions a library to me this is what I picture. Growing up I would visit my grandparents in north New Mexico during the summertime, and with them they made sure my brother and I did not have a boring summer. We would frequently visit the Farmington Public Library as it was both free and had computers that we can use to play games. Video games were not at my grandparents so this was our only time to play games. The building offered a great open environment with windows around the whole building so it did not feel like a boring building. During the summertime there would often be interactive workshops for kids to engage in and a little theater that showed movies or shows that were based off children books.

This place will always remain close to my heart and will be a library design I hope to see more often in the future. With it being in the heart of Farmington, NM it continues to be seen and accessible to the general community. I hope that you find a library that has an impact for you the same way this building did for me.
