New entrance which provides accessibility to the library spaces.
-
Program room
-
Book sale area

The project has been carefully coordinated with the library staff, and the United States Department of Agriculture Rural Development Office, the library’s primary funding source.
The Morrisville Public Library Project in, Morrisville,
New York, designed by Teitsch-Kent-Fay Architects, P.C., involved a significant addition to the existing historic house, to allow the Library to provide a full range of services
Specific attention was required to coordinate the new addition with the historic structure and limited site.
