A variety of spaces to meet a wide range of community needs are in the new facility. Spaces include a large public meeting room (for approximately 100 people), two smaller meeting rooms, a children’s program room, as well as smaller rooms for group study and for tutoring. There are shelving areas for print and non-print materials for all ages. Multiple points of access to virtual spaces through the public PCs and wireless access are included.<br /><br />The children’s area has areas (including collection and seating) dedicated to various age groups (five and under, beginning readers and elementary age). There is a distinctive area for young adults to meet and to learn. Adults have their own reading areas, online access area and a large collection of materials.<br /><br />The Anacostia Library has a larger share of the library space devoted to children’s services than in other branches, because its service area has more children than in other DC neighborhoods—both in numbers and as a percentage of the population. In addition to online access for children, there is a large collection of print and non-print resources (CD books, DVDs and mixed-media kits) for children from birth to age twelve. Children’s librarians provide regular story programs in which they model behaviors and reader’s advisory services to children and their caregivers to encourage reading and early literacy.....<b><a href="http://www.freelon.com/portfolio/261/Library">more</a></b>

Located at 767 Fifth Avenue between 58th and 59th Streets, the prominent site near FAO Schwarz and Bergdorf Goodman provides views of Central Park.<br /><br />"We opened our first New York store in SoHo in 2002, and it has been successful beyond our dreams. Now we're thrilled to open our second New York store on Fifth Avenue," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "With outstanding service and an amazing location open 24 hours a day, we think the Apple Store Fifth Avenue is going to be a favorite destination for New Yorkers and people around the world." <br /><br />The store occupies the underground retail concourse of the General Motors Building, with entry from the plaza level above. "The new plaza in front of the General Motors building on Fifth Avenue at 59th Street is a triumph of urban design." said James Gardner in the New York Sun. "Suddenly, as if out of nowhere, New York has a new public space that will prove to be a source of civic pride and aesthetic delight."<br /><br />Designers Bohlin Cywinski Jackson and structural engineers Eckersly O'Callahan (glass elements) in collaboration with Apple used Apple Stores' signature structural glass vertical circulation to entice plaza level passersby down to the store's underground main level. The 32-foot structural glass cube marking the store's entrance makes a bold architectural statement. Housing a transparent glass elevator wrapped by a circular glass stair, the transparent cube beckons potential customers down to the retail level below. By day it is a skylight bringing natural light underground, while at night the lighted cube is a sign. "It was in Apple's DNA to try to make something that no one else had the vision to create," said Ron Johnson, Apple's Senior Vice President of Retail.<br /><br />Visitors descend the glass stair or travel in the all-glass elevator, entering a carefully tailored stainless steel and stone environment where Apple's products take center stage. Custom-designed wooden store fixtures, stainless steel ceiling and wall panels and an Italian stone floor make an elegant, yet restrained backdrop....<a href="http://www.bcj.com/public/projects/project/82.html"><b>more </b></a>
