Oro Valley Public Library, Town of Oro Valley

Responding to the Town’s design guidelines, the library incorporates stone, stucco, copper and glass in a contemporary expression that fits comfortably into the fabric of the community. The 25,000-square-foot library provides magnificent mountain views, and enjoys natural daylighting with clerestories throughout the stacks and reading areas. The Friends of the Library operate a book sales area where they provide comfortable seating and sell coffee. The library also features a children’s library and a well-equipped teen zone.
