Barrington Public Library
Barrington, RI
Tappé has been called upon numerous occasions for renovations to the Barrington Public Library, including a recently Children’s renovation led by Chris Blessen. Interior upgrades to floor, ceiling, wall finishes, lighting replacement and Tappé custom furnishings were utilized to achieve reinvigorated identity while recognizing community character and ambiance. Reconfigured to meet contemporary library service goals and operating procedures, the plan adopted new paradigms for Browsing, Periodicals, Young Adults, Fiction, Reference Services and Circulation services (including express check out). Back office space was reconfigured and the community performance spaces were modernized to meet current needs and provide ADA accessibility.
