The beautiful Lake Arthur Park setting inspires the library’s siting, functional distribution, and architecture. The plan is open and organized around a central circulation desk that enhances staff supervision; reading areas and collections are arranged along the library’s north side to benefit from park views and north light. The architecture is modernist in form and detail and based on an asymmetrical composition of solid and transparent planes and volumes. Major design goals included developing a facility that would provide the small town of Estancia a “living room” center appealing to all ages.

The design of the Roswell Public Library, a cornerstone of Roswell culture since this southeastern New Mexico’s city’s earliest days, reflects the trend in library design today that suggests libraries be more open, engaging, and dynamic. Entry and circulation areas are naturally lit, providing ample space for movement and small group discussions. Reading areas are identifiable from the exterior as ‘glass pavilions.’ On the interior, they are identified as inviting, light filled reading rooms with comfortable sitting areas.
