Loranger Library

The new Loranger Library Branch will be a modern and welcoming space that will enhance community services for residents of Tangipahoa Parish. This 6,200-square-foot facility is thoughtfully crafted to support education, creativity, and lifelong learning through innovative design and adaptable spaces. The new library will feature dedicated areas for children and teens, providing age-appropriate environments for reading, learning, and exploration. A technology hub, equipped with multiple computer workstations and digital resources, will help bridge the digital divide and promote digital literacy. Additionally, small group meeting rooms will offer spaces for collaboration, study sessions, and local programs, supporting the library’s mission to be a hub for community engagement.

The architectural design balances functionality with aesthetic appeal, blending sustainable, energy-efficient features with flexible interior layouts that can adapt to future needs. The open-concept design, combined with movable furniture, allows the library to host a variety of community events and programs. Holly & Smith Architects worked closely with the Tangipahoa Parish Library system to ensure the design reflects their commitment to accessibility, inclusivity, and innovation. By integrating environmentally conscious materials and efficient building systems, the new Loranger Branch is not only a space for learning but also a model of sustainable design.
