A new publication of the American Library Association features the Port Jefferson Free Library's Teen Center planned by Janko Rasic Architects, PLLC
"Public and school libraries across the country have positively demonstrated the variety of teen look and feel. . . The Port Jefferson (New York) Free Library's Young Adult Center at Goodtimes resides across the street from the main library in a retail rental space. The teen area is a 620-square-foot room in the rear of the building. (The Friends of the Library occupy part of the front room with the teen services librarians-what a great example of adult-youth collaboration!) This eclectic space was designed collaboratively with teens, staff and an architect [Janko Rasic Architects, PLLC]. It includes maple wood, painted fluorescent lights as well as track lighting, two couches, three lounge chairs, four tables with chairs, and built-in shelving units with large amount of display space." pp.77-78.
