The
Barnett Branch Library's expansion was thoughtfully crafted with the community
at its core. This new addition reflects the growing community's rich
multicultural and diverse background. As visitors enter, they are welcomed by
an inviting entry sequence that seamlessly blends the building with the
surrounding landscape. A central pathway, framed by brick planes that unite the
interior and exterior, serves as a symbolic journey, inviting people from all
walks of life to explore the library's vast resources while framing views of
existing trees.

The expansion of the Barnett branch library addresses a critical need by
providing dedicated spaces for local youth, many of whom come straight to the
library after school and stay until dark. The library's spaces are
intentionally designed to cater to various interests and preferences, offering
everything from peaceful reading nooks to collaborative work areas.
