This 52,013 SF "State of the art" library facility speaks volumes to the diverse culture of its community. The Library, located 80 miles from the Navaho Nation, gets its direction from elements found in the culture and architecture of the people it serves. The counterclockwise layout and "kiva like" rotunda bring a spiritual meaning to this community building. Working seamlessly within the dynamic layout of this complex are both indoor and outdoor programming spaces, allowing a broad flexibility of programs in this mild climate. Located within this exciting structure are many flexible spaces with state-of-the-art technology. Computers are located throughout as well as flat-screen monitors, which inform the patron of upcoming programs, local news, and entertainment.

The library philosophy is one of customer service, which the layout and technology of this building enables through its self check stations, various multi-media rooms, and immense computer access, as well as, its built-in flexibility to allow change throughout the years to come. Farmington Public Library is a building for the Library of the 21st Century.
