| Effective
Tues., December 11, 2007, Lakeshore Library is located
in a fully-functioning temporary library facility
located in the parking lot of the Lakeshore location
at 1000 West Esplanade, Metairie, made possible by
SOLINET’s Gulf Coast Libraries Project funded
by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
The original April 1995 state-of-the-art
facility was designed by Architect Bob Bennett who
designed the branch with the lake in mind as can be
seen by the raw concrete columns and unfinished beams.
The art hangings designed by Douglas MacCash were
one of the outstanding features of this branch. |
