This is the bright and optimistic design for Philadelphia’s Parkway Central Library, planned by the architectural firm of Moshe Safdie and Associates, Inc., as an update & renovation to the existing Beaux-Arts library building. When completed, the library will offer visitors 300 public-access computers, a 550-seat public auditorium and an all-new Children’s Library which includes a Preschool Center and Craft Room.
