</span></b><span style="">Seventeen new and renovated libraries—and the architecture firms that designed them—have been recognized in American Libraries’ 2018 Library Design Showcase, which appears in the magazine’s September/October issue and is available
online. The annual feature, celebrating its 30th year, honors innovative and interesting constructions that effectively address library user needs in the United States and Canada. The highlighted projects, a mix of public, academic, school, and special libraries,
were completed between May 1, 2017 and April 30, 2018.</span></p>
