Project Narrative

In 1965 the Tulsa City-County Library reformed reformed our idea of what a library is by becoming one of the first in the nation to the first in the nation to use today's standard of browsing books in an "Open Library".

It used to be, that when you went to a library, you had to look up a book in a catalogue or index, and create a retrieval request for a librarian.

Today, the library continues to serve all members of the community. Serving as a gateway to resources that anyone can access. Students young and old, families, community groups, entrepreneurs, and large businesses.

As our culture continues to evolve in the way we learn, consume information, and gather as a community, this video unveils the concept design of the the architects of MS&R Meyer, Scherer & Rockcastle, Ltd. (msrltd.com) and associate architect Crafton Tull Associates, Inc., look to reinvigorate Tulsa City-County Library for the next 50 years.

Production Notes

MS&R used this short film to connect the past, present, and future of Tulsa City County Library with donors at a special event. It was then broadcast in several locations on the web and helped them reach their goal of raising $47.8 Million.
