Libraries in the News: Hastings Public Library


Built on a brownfield site, Hastings Public Library (Michigan) is targeted to receive a LEED Gold Certificate. Contributing to the library's rating are low VOC (volatile organic compound) furnishings and finishes, linoleum tabletops, condensing gas boilers, an underground air distribution system, vegetative roofs in the turrets, and toilet partitions made of recyled milk jugs.
