Design Highlights
Graceful curves, large expanses of glass, and brick walls create a memorable yet understated landmark for the residents of Dearborn Heights. The interior combines large windows and wooden shelving to establish a welcoming, relaxing environment. Generous computer access spaces and wireless connectivity provide a high-tech learning environment for a diverse demographic. An efficient layout and limited shelving range allow a single person to supervise the entire library, reducing the need for additional staff.
