Poland Library is the public library of Youngstown and Mahoning County which is known for its beautiful architecture and is located in the village of Poland.
Opened in 2001, Poland Library was designed by Robert A. Mastriana of the 4M company to be a place where the community could gather. It includes both a cafe and a bookstore.
The village of Poland was in mind when the 35,619-square-foot building was planned. Poland’s Greek Revival heritage inspired the library. The magnificent size of the structure was purposely downplayed by creating the appearance of four smaller, gabled houses. This design mimics the architecture and scale seen throughout the community.
You will find the Historic Poland Union Seminary dormitory on the far left of the building. It was originally built in 1846 and has been incorporated into the library, achieving a green architectural goal.
They also met another green architectural goal by reusing the previous library’s old stone window surrounds. Also, note the large number of windows, especially at the back of the building. They let in an enormous amount of natural light. Poland Library has won several awards and has been featured in many national publications.
Cindy’s Insider Ohio Tips!
I really like the architecture of this library. It is stunning inside and out. We were not allowed to take photos inside the library, but you’ll appreciate the beauty when you visit.
