This library was divided into black and white with the collection space being black, to show off the collection, and the client spaces being white.
Refurbishment works at Thornton Heath Library are complete, and the word LIBRARY is now spelt out in 3-foot high bold letters on three sides of the pavilion roof, meaning that nobody passing by along Brigstock Road will be in any doubt as to what is inside.
The refurbishment is a major project which has cost £2.2 million, with £1.3 million won from The Big Lottery Fund contributing towards the works.
A major feature of the redevelopment is the pavilion extension to the front of the building, which not only provides a new accessible entrance but a relaxed seating area for library users to enjoy. The library has also gained two rear extensions to add space and incorporate a lift to the lower ground floor.
Local residents and library users have all been closely involved with the planning stages for this project, resulting in many new features being included in the design and management of the library.
The interior has been redesigned to the highest specification throughout. The remodelled space incorporates a community meeting room, an ICT learning room, an ICT suite and separate spaces for both a teenage and children’s library - all of which are new additions to the old building.
The building hasa garden and new public toilets - including baby changing facilities. There is comfortable seating and space to sit and read newspapers and magazines, improved study facilities and a refreshment area. Overall, the updated and modernised interior creates a light and airy atmosphere with sympathetic restoration of the original features.
Library services on offer include a homework help club, more public access PCs for adults, children and young people and family learning activities that support children’s educational development at times convenient for parents.
After school activities for children and young people are available, and there is a wider choice of books, DVDs and music for teenagers as well as a wider choice of books in community languages.
Activities for older people include learning opportunities for adults including support in accessing ICT, support for job seekers and support with basic skills
Everyone is welcome and encouraged to enjoy reading and opportunities to share the pleasures of reading for all ages

Other title: University of Puerto Rico General Library; Lazaro Library; Jose M. Lazaro Biblioteca
Creator: Klumb, Henry, 1905-1984
Creator role: Architect
Date: 1948
Current location: San Juan, Puerto Rico
Description of work: Klumb worked between 1946 and 1966 as the university's only architect. The Rio Piedras and Mayaguez campuses of the University of Puerto Rico allowed Klumb to explore the possibilities of a social architecture adapted to the conditions of Puerto Rico. He set the standards and guidelines for architecture of open and flowing spaces. He also developed several architectural strategies to tone down natural light with the use of various designs for brise-soleils which provided light and shadow. He preferred to design his buildings to take advantage of the prevailing trade winds of the island. Klumb's buildings are all organized around open, democratic spaces accessible to all.
