First Floor
On the first floor, large and divisible meeting spaces greatly increase the library’s capacity for events and programs, while a MakerSpace allows for hands-on activities and a dedicated area in which to plan and create. The vibrant children’s discovery area encourages interactive play and learning. The first floor also features a drive-up window where customers can drop off books and pick up holds. A civic patio on the south side of the building provides a welcoming space for the community to gather.
Second Floor
Upstairs, adults and teens enjoy a large co-working area, complete with study rooms and plenty of space for collaboration. You’ll find ample seating with dynamic views throughout the upstairs area, as well as public computers and print stations. An additional public meeting room provides space for smaller-scale gatherings and programs.
Art in the Library
SAGE
“Sage,” a large-scale art installation by John Grade, is suspended over the central stairway. The sculpture is inspired by the structure within the stem of the sagebrush that grows throughout Central Oregon. When viewed from above and below, the sculpture’s surface resembles aerial views of obsidian flows from the Newberry caldera.
WEST WENT
This 100” x 60” oil-oncanvas piece by Bend artist Bill Hoppe is located on the second floor near the adult collection. Transparency and atmospheric perspective are at the core of works by Hoppe.
YOUNG READER
This bronze sculpture has been a beloved part of the Redmond Library for decades. Community members have taken countless photographs of children sitting beside her, and she now greets customers of all ages in her location on the first floor near the stairs.
Coming Soon:
An original work by Redmond artist Jason Graham will be installed on the second floor near the teen collection.
