Customers can click on six new Internet-accessible computers or read a favorite book in the new reading room. The wooded corner at Adams Road and Fourth Street in Sand Springs will make for the perfect pastoral setting of the new library with its many windows and views. The new library will replace the art-deco style Page Memorial Library, which the city will use as a historical museum. Remodeling of the library made room for more books and seating, a new service desk and the ambiance of another era. Art-glass lamps light the tables and highlight a specially designed carpet that features American Indian symbols.
Children can take a step back in time as they find their favorite books.
A new doorway features hand-painted American Indian legends and folklore. Customers will also find a quiet area to research and use the computer. Handmade African fabrics, Kente and Adinkra, are displayed throughout the library representing the pride and culture of the families whom the library serves. The multipatterned and multicolored cloths celebrate the African-American culture and represent folklore stories. The cloths were made in Ghana, Africa, and shipped to Tulsa.
