KOKOMO-HOWARD COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY
Kokomo, Indiana

Type: New Construction
Size: 17,600 square feet
Completed: August 2001

The Kokomo-Howard County Public South Branch originally presided in a strip mall rental property.  As their library service expanded, so did the need for a new building.  The South Branch reflected the ‘Prairie-Style’ providing the community with interesting characteristics such as art glass windows.  The large expanses of glass facing north with significant overhangs provide appealing reading spaces and allow natural light to penetrate deep into the library space.
