On May 11, excited community members lined up for the much-anticipated opening of Central Library, the brand-new flagship facility for the Deschutes Public Library system. Designed by The Miller Hull Partnership and Steele Associates Architects, the library implements bilingual sign standards developed by Mayer/Reed. Home to more than the book collections, the impressive new building offers creative and co-working spaces, a teen room, children’s space designed by Plus And Greater Than, maker space and coffee shop.
