Dallas architect Bud Oglesby designed this elegant one-story, flat-roofed brick pavilion. The entrance loggia is carried on three slender concrete arches, and narrow vertical windows are cut into the flanking brick walls, articulating differences in interior spatial uses. In 2016 the library was doubled in size with a rear extension.
