DESCRIPTION
By blending the resources of college and community, the West St. Petersburg Community Library at St. Petersburg College has created a place which provides a great range of library material and services in one location.
This 50,000 square foot facility enabled an economic solution to the community and college’s needs.
A library that hosts 120,000 volumes with a capacity of 150,000 far exceeds either library’s individual effort. Ninety public computer stations foster a bridge into research and learning for both student and public patrons.
All patrons enjoy the wide open feel of natural light facilitated by a skylight and large windows which open the entire building to the beautiful landscape, including a great view of Eagle Lake. Finally, the allure of an in house cafe welcomes gourmet coffee lovers and busy college students to a wide open dining space or an extensive outdoor seating area.
