Atwater libary space

    The Atwater Public Library is on the street corner of Glendale Blvd. This place is made to be a place of resource. There are many schools close to the library. Although not many students come here. Some come after school to spend the time doing their homework until their parents arrive to pick them up. Other than that people come to get the  books of their choice. The library is a great place to find information about projects or essays that a person may have.  The use of this space is to give people a place of silence to learn and exceed in their intelligence.
    The exterior walls are dreary and stiff. The library's bricks are a sold gray reminding someone of storm clouds on a bleak day. The only color is the red trimmings around the sliding doors and windows in the front of the building. The library has a few visitors during the day that come to do work. Many of the people that visit are the same people that are seen everyday. It is a small library that many people do not even know about though and would be easy to over look.
    If rebuilt I would change the shape of it into one that was circular. There would be windows all around the building and not just the front to let in light from the outside. The inside of the library now does not get much sunlight, but use electricity to give light to its visitors. The middle of the library I would leave a small court yard open.  In the middle of the courtyard their would be a fountain and tables around it for people to sit and do work. The building exterior would be made of stones, the colors would be near gold. This would make the library stand out as a powerful sight. A place that should be seen in more of a bright light. Than the solitary place that it is now. The library would have more than one floor as it does now. Three floors would be ideal. One floor for books, one for the computers , and one that is only group study rooms.The library is a place that is not looked at very much as a place of importance. It is more of an undesirable place to be. That needs to change in order to make people want to learn. If the place also had someplace for people to sit and talk it would be better which is what the courtyard is created for. Also their would be a place to buy snacks in the courtyard, for people that are studying for a long time and need a pick me up. This would be my ideal look for a library.
