Round Valley Public Library

摘要

In an underserved, rural California county comprising a small town, ranch land, and an Indian reservation, community members came together to create their own library-from fundraising to purchase a 7,200 square foot structure down to initiating the design details. The RoundValley Public Library in Covelo opened its doors in 2010 of offer not only books but also the Commons, a community center with rentable Wi-Fi-enabled space, a retail coffee shop, and a covered patio. By 2012, the Commons gained a commercial-grade kitchen.
