THE MADISON COUNTY LIBRARY PROVIDES A HUB OF KNOWLEDGE CENTERED IN HUNSTVILLE, ARKANSAS. THE MASS WAS IMAGINED AS A GLASS PAVILLION UNDER A ROOF WHICH IS TAKEN AS THE INVERSE OF THE SITE. THE STRUCTURE OF THE BUILDING IS CLT COLUMN AND BEAM, AND LARGE CLT TRUSSES ENCLOSE AN AMPHITHEATER FOR PUBLIC EVENTS.
ASIDE FROM BOOKS, THE LIBRARY FEATURES A TEENS AREA, A CAFE, PUBLIC MEETING ROOMS FOR THE COMMUNITY, AND AN AUDITORIUM. A MAJOR COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT STRATEGY THE LIBRARY UTILIZES IS AN ALTERNATIVE LENDING PROGRAM, WHICH LOANS KAYAKS, BIKES AND CAMPING/CLIMBING GEAR TO CARD HOLDERS.
