A Dynamic New Library for Everyone



A new downtown library, well designed, should be the city's living room, a comfortable, inviting place that you go to be yourself, educate yourself throughout life, expand your horizons. It should be a "3rd place," where you bring your friends and families to be inspired, a place that makes you proud of Ann Arbor. Simply put, the best damn college town library in the world.
