Description:

Over one hundred years ago, visitors from near and far flocked to the Fuquay mineral springs to immerse themselves in the restorative healing water that flowed from its unseen subterranean origin. The springs served both as a source and a destination. The Fuquay-Varina Community Library is a source of knowledge, information, and human connection. The Source is inspired by the form of a gradually opening book and library’s inverted roof and the world of possibility that emerges from each of them.
