We are excited to share that Oak Lodge Library has been selected for the 2026 American Libraries Showcase!

We’re honored to see the project recognized for its strong connection to the surrounding landscape: “Expansive windows in the main reading room and direct park access keep the focus on the surrounding natural environment, while a roof system made of dowel-laminated timber adds warmth and texture throughout the open layout.”
