“Access to books is vital for children and students as they grow to become better learners and empathetic to the views of people different from themselves. Libraries make that possible for everyone, and I want to help make sure these resources are available to all in the future.”

“The public library is the most accessible public building we have in society. Today, our libraries are so much more than book depositories. Public libraries are havens for learning, creating, meeting and sharing. Healthy libraries lead to healthy communities. As an architect, I am interested in place-making that enhances the human experience.”

It is a remarkable blessing to have access to such an amazing resource with such a rich history of innovation, strength, and accessibility. It is an honor for me to contribute my time, talent, and treasure toward continuing this legacy. I truly believe that there has never been a better time to celebrate the importance of public libraries in our communities.”
