"Green Libraries"
When the Clifton Park-Halfmoon Public Library Board
of Trustess first sat down with the architects to design the Library, they were presented with a unique opportunity; to become a model of environmentally-advanced architecture in New York State and the Country.

Pratically everything in the in the Library was selected with the environment in mind; from the regionally-sourced brick and structural steel forged scrap metal, to the window wall that allows extensive use of day lighting, to the carpets made from bio-based fiber, recycled tires and plastic, to counter tops made from recycled metal and resins.
