Enhancing Library Spaces For Our Communities - Edge Architecture Primary Research Report
In our recent survey of libraries across New York State, one message came through clearly: community needs are evolving, and physical space needs to evolve with them. With libraries increasingly serving as essential "third places" where people gather, learn, and connect outside of home and work, optimizing these spaces has become influential for community engagement and support. Through this research, the data collected provides insights into strategies to improve library layouts, prioritize resources, and expand facilities.
