The Bigfork Library in Montana serves as a source of inspiration and a bridge connecting the rural folk of Bigfork to resources, technology, and opportunities for lifelong education.

Funded by the ImagineIF Library Foundation, the library currently occupies a 557-m2 (6,000-sf) former church recreation hall.

In addition to completely reworking the interior, the design includes a new entry sequence, ample windows for daylight and views, and exterior finishes and features that draw people in.

The project is also one of 12 worldwide designated as a Design for Freedom, Pilot Project. This movement brings industry leaders together to eliminate forced labor in the building materials supply chain.
