A cherished centerpiece of the Solano Avenue neighborhood and the busiest of Berkeley's four existing branch libraries, the rehabilitation and expansion of this c. 1936 Berkeley City Landmark preserves the majority of its historic features while bringing it into the 21st century. The award-winning, LEED Silver project restores the library’s main circulation and historic central rotunda and reading rooms their original splendor. Including decorative finishes and original furnishings, the restoration features a two-story building addition that accommodates staff work areas, a teen library, a community room, accessible restrooms, and other support spaces.
