What’s in your library?

Libraries are equally about connections and collections. Linking people to people, staff, outside experts, fellow citizens ― that is the essence of the modern library. We believe buildings shape behavior. Open, engaging and comfortable buildings with connections to the surrounding neighborhoods increase participation and user satisfaction. Environment and service are connected elements in defining a user’s library experience.

At Engberg Anderson Architects, we work with communities around the nation to realize the potential for their libraries. Be extraordinary and join us at the 2016 PLA Conference in Denver Colorado! Stop by our booth to meet our architects, share ideas and learn how we can help you.
