The new Montlake Branch is the 19th project completed under the "Libraries for All" building program.
The building was designed by Weinstein Architects + Urban Designers and built by Graham Contracting Ltd.
The architects designed the contemporary brick and cedar-clad branch to match the nearby commercial structures and residences in the area. A vertical glass entry on 24th Avenue East creates a strong civic presence. The entry plaza provides an outdoor gathering space for patrons.
When you’re inside the branch, you can see two landscaped gardens on the west side of the building.
