As you may or may not know, I’m planning on becoming a librarian. Today I was being a dork and searching around the internet for cool elementary school libraries, and this is what I found:
Have I died and gone to heaven? If I could work in a library that looked remotely like any of these, I would freak out. These are all part of The Library Initiative, which is an incredible program that builds new libraries in elementary schools throughout New York’s five boroughs.
« A range of talented architects would design the libraries; private companies would donate books and funds; and [Pentagram] would provide the graphic design, including signage, wayfinding, and a masterbrand that would tie all the sites together. »This pleases me greatly.
you can fid me in the club…
It looks so exotic!
Hey, I’m on my way to that library right now. Enter downstairs under the lawn, up four flights of stairs, and I’ll be tucked away inside one of the silent cubicles.
