架构师提供的文本描述。Anacostia图书馆创建了一座市民建筑，当地居民可以以此为荣。在新的设施中有各种各样的空间来满足广泛的社区需求。空间包括一个大型公共会议室(约100人)，两个较小的会议室，一个儿童节目室，以及较小的小组学习和辅导室。所有年龄层都有供印刷和非印刷材料使用的搁置区。包括通过公共PC和无线接入对虚拟空间的多个访问点。

Text description provided by the architects. The Anacostia Library creates a civic building of which area residents can be proud. A variety of spaces to meet a wide range of community needs are in the new facility. Spaces include a large public meeting room (for approximately 100 people), two smaller meeting rooms, a children’s program room, as well as smaller rooms for group study and for tutoring. There are shelving areas for print and non-print materials for all ages. Multiple points of access to virtual spaces through the public PCs and wireless access are included.

儿童区有专门为不同年龄组(五岁及以下、初级读者和小学年龄)而设的区域(包括收藏和座位)。有一个独特的领域，让年轻人认识和学习。成年人有自己的阅读区、在线访问区和大量的资料收集区。

The children’s area has areas (including collection and seating) dedicated to various age groups (five and under, beginning readers and elementary age). There is a distinctive area for young adults to meet and to learn. Adults have their own reading areas, online access area and a large collection of materials.

与其他分支机构相比，Anacostia图书馆专门用于儿童服务的图书馆空间所占比例更大，因为其服务区的儿童数量和人口比例都高于其他特区社区。除了儿童上网之外，还有大量印刷和非印刷资源(CD书籍、DVD和混合媒体工具包)，供12岁以下的儿童使用。儿童图书管理员提供定期的故事节目，他们为儿童和他们的照顾者提供示范行为和读者咨询服务，以鼓励阅读和早期识字。

The Anacostia Library has a larger share of the library space devoted to children’s services than in other branches, because its service area has more children than in other DC neighborhoods—both in numbers and as a percentage of the population. In addition to online access for children, there is a large collection of print and non-print resources (CD books, DVDs and mixed-media kits) for children from birth to age twelve. Children’s librarians provide regular story programs in which they model behaviors and reader’s advisory services to children and their caregivers to encourage reading and early literacy.

Sustainability

这个项目的目标是LEED银牌认证。据估计，各种能源和照明战略节省了22%的能源。作为一个公共图书馆，设计团队将该项目视为利用可持续特征作为社区教学工具的一个机会。重要的生物保留池是设计作为一个可居住的和高度可见的特征，并包括一个永久的描述性显示。室内和外部用水减少措施以及相关的教学工具都得到了采用。底层的空气分配正在被利用，它在调节高天花板空间的效率，以及它与用户通过可控系统的互动水平。日光采集将是阅览室体验的一个显著和突出的特征。正在通过屋顶太阳能热水供暖系统提供热水。在实现可持续性目标方面，选择和开发这一褐土地也是至关重要的。

This project has targeted LEED Silver certification. The various energy and lighting strategies have resulted in an estimated 22% energy savings. As a public library, the design team saw the project as an opportunity to utilize sustainable features as a teaching tool for the community. The significant bioretention pond is designed as an inhabitable and highly visible feature of the site and includes a permanent descriptive display. Both interior and exterior water use reduction measures have been employed along with associated teaching tools. Underfloor air distribution is being utilized for both its efficiency in conditioning high-ceiling spaces as well as its level of interaction with users through controllable systems. Daylight harvesting will be a noticeable and salient feature of the reading room experience. Hot water is being provided through a rooftop solar hot water heating system. Selection and development of this brownfield site was also critical in achieving sustainability goals.
