这个新奥尔良社区图书馆是由两座建筑组成的，它们结合在一起的目的是让它们作为一个整体发挥作用。其中一座建筑是一座具有历史意义的平房，建于1917年，位于南大街和拿破仑大道的拐角处。另一座大楼于1993年建造，专门用作图书馆，是主要阅览室和仓库的所在地。这两座建筑物都被卡特里娜飓风造成的堤坝溃决严重淹没。这座平房被打捞起来，以备将来防洪之用，但现代的增建被认为是联邦应急管理局(FEMA)所必需的。

This New Orleans neighborhood library is comprised of two buildings joined together with the intention that they function as a whole. One building is a historically significant bungalow built as a residence in 1917, sited prominently on the corner of South Broad Street and Napoleon Avenue. The other building, built in 1993 specifically to function as a library, was home to the main reading room and stock areas. Both buildings were severely flooded by levee breaks attributed to Hurricane Katrina. The bungalow was salvaged and raised for future flood prevention, but the modern addition was deemed necessary for replacement by the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA).

新的10，000平方英尺的图书馆和社区中心为布罗德摩尔社区提供创新的21世纪图书馆、社区中心、聚集空间和宝贵的教育资源。在历史建筑和图书馆之间保持一个视觉上的开放连接，以创造空间浮雕，因为这两个建筑接触。

The new 10,000 square foot combined library and community center serves the Broadmoor community by providing residents with an innovative 21st century library, community center, gathering space, and valuable educational resource. A visually open connection is maintained between the Historic House and Library Addition in order to create spatial relief as the two buildings touch.

这“脊柱”允许一个清晰的视线到操场横穿宽街，并提供一个明确的进入顺序进入图书馆。新增加的主要是书柜、计算机站和图书馆功能的其他核心要素，而历史建筑主要是社区会议中心和一家小咖啡馆的家。

This “spine” allows for a clear line of sight to the playground across Broad Street and provides a clear entry sequence into the library. The new addition primarily houses book shelving, computer stations, and other core elements of the library function, while the historic house operates primarily as the community meeting center and home to a small café.
