EDDY-GIBBS LIBRARY

As part of Tulsa City-County Library’s ongoing master plan, Ethos has designed the new Owasso Branch Library – our third new community branch library from the recent master plan. Located in the heart of downtown Owasso, the approximately 20,000-square-foot library will anchor a unique mixed-use development with residential housing above, creating a new model for integrating library services into a vibrant, walkable community.

The new branch will double the size of the existing facility and significantly expand community amenities, including a community meeting room, activity room, dedicated story-time space, an adult patio along Main Street, and a large outdoor children’s area. The design creates a cohesive identity that complements the surrounding development while providing welcoming, flexible spaces for people of all ages.

The project reflects a holistic vision for library services and demonstrates how libraries can serve as active civic anchors within mixed-use neighborhoods and downtown districts, supporting lifelong learning and strengthening community connections.
