Youthful engagement in the library

Located in downtown Richmond, this project looks to create a space that excites and rejuvenates the youth within the Richmond community. Through an identification of learning levels, ages, and interactive tools this library will create spaces that appeal to kids and provide freedom of learning. Incorporating new programs and uses for space will help create excitement for how a library is perceived by youth. Providing many spaces for kids to interact with like media walls and reading corners will help expand on the ways kids will use a space. Through the layout and design of spaces and program kids’ creativity and curiosity will blossom. The kids are not the only ones who will benefit from the services offered, classes and programs offered are also available for the community. These activities are learning experiences and fun ways for all people of the community to interact. Youthful engagement in the library encourages kids to grow, learn, and experiment as they navigate through life’s challenges. Locals and community members will also benefit from the new services provided within this library campus.
