| Airy, open, art-filled. Coffee welcome! |

It's all about demographics. For the Eastside, this is a great fit.
I added a link to the 2011 dedication of the first of these repurposed libraries on the Northwest side. Five more will be spread across the city as it updates the facilities to meet both the city and neighborhoods' needs.
For example, while the east side branch comes with market rate housing, the NW side building featured so-called grandparent housing to meet a local need for families where seniors are raising their grandkids.
Libraries are the best! Long live librarians and libraries!
