Casting Off the Cold


All kinds of things can happen in a library designed to be the community's living room - from social events to author readings, book club meetings, and more. Markham Village Library was designed to be a "third place" for its community - a place outside of work and home where people can come together. By providing comfortable seating, natural light, and a welcoming atmosphere, the library becomes a place for things like the weekly meetings of Casting Off the Cold, a volunteer organization whose members knit and crochet winter apparel for the unfortunate in the community.
