"The new Canarsie Library, designed by Studio Joseph, will span 11,000 square feet across two floors, with double the public space of the old branch. A cross-laminated timber structural system will make it one of the city's first public "mass timber" buildings, a type of construction that relies on engineered prefab wood panels to deliver loftier spaces than traditional wood allows for, but with some of the material's natural sustainability. The new building will also have on-site stormwater management and solar panels."

Johnson, Deputy Mayor Julie Su, and City Councilmember Mercedes Narcisse. The new Canarsie Library, designed by Studio Joseph, will span 11,000 square feet across two floors, with double the public space of the old branch."
