The small corner lot along Ocean Avenue, in the heart of an urban commercial center and surrounding neighborhood, was leveraged as a prominent and accessible civic destination. The library includes light-filled design elements reflecting the community’s values of accessibility of knowledge and education for all.

“…with its egg-shaped children’s room, mahogany-framed study nooks and a roof that hovers eight feet above the entrance, the Ingleside Library sends an ambitious message that public buildings can strive to be civic landmarks, sources of neighborhood pride as well as books and DVDs.”
