The new facility in St. John’s County blends a community center and library, offering a range of services beyond traditional library functions. With access to telehealth, Health and Human Services (HHS), a food pantry, and a community room, it serves as a vital resource for the agricultural community. The design, inspired by a former art deco community center on the same site, maximizes space efficiency while creating a warm, inviting interior connected to its natural surroundings.
