Westchester Square Library

Sited at a prominent corner next to the elevated subway platform, the new library will attract visitors coming from the nearby subway station and create a cultural hub of activity for the surrounding neighborhood. As an open and accessible building, the library showcases its role as a community center with social activities clearly visible through its glass façade, and provides library visitors with broad views out to the neighborhood and Dolen Park.
