Wadsworth Public Library
Wadsworth, Ohio
In winter of 2000-2001, CBLH Design was commissioned to design the expansion to the existing Wadsworth Public Library. The City of Wadsworth is a rapidly growing community within Medina County. This growth required that the Wadsworth Public Library, an independent community library, consider an expansion project to better and more aggressively meet the needs of the community.

The Board of Trustees committed to expanding the Library in its current location within the Central Business District of Wadsworth. This location is ideal for servicing the Wadsworth Public Schools and surrounding communities.
The design concept created by CBLH Design is intended to create a "market-place" environment for the collection and consumption of information by the patrons. It is intended to be a gathering place for the community in support of educational and cultural programs.
