新的Billie Jean King主图书馆不仅仅是几十年前的传统图书馆。它位于长滩市中心的中心，旨在提供一个欢迎和灵活的环境，现在每天服务超过1000名游客。

较先进的木结构建筑具有独特和可识别的内部空间，最大限度地扩大面积，提高用户的可达性和工作人员的效率。 它还提供了丰富的活动计划，其中阅读和浏览书架只是体验的一小部分。

The new Billie Jean King Main Library is more than a traditional library of decades past. Positioned at the heart of Downtown Long Beach, it is designed to provide a welcoming and flexible environment that now serves more than 1,000 daily visitors. The state-of-the-art, structural timber building features distinct and identifiable interior spaces that maximize square footage and enhance user accessibility and staff efficiency. It also offers a rich program of activities in which reading and browsing through bookstacks are only a small part of the experience.

为了创建吸引力社区，图书馆设有各种舒适的空间，如家庭学习中心、儿童阅览室、退伍军人资源中心和有独立入口的多用途房间；该建筑还容纳了电影编辑、3-D打印和机器人技术的创客空间。

最重要的是，游客可以在两层楼高的书架上仔细阅读，书架上有30多万本书，市长罗伯特·加西亚(Robert Garcia)称之为“南加州最大的漫画和漫画小说收藏之一”。

To lure the community inside, the library features a variety of amenity spaces, such as a family learning center, children’s reading room, veterans’ resource center, and multipurpose rooms with their own separate entrances; the building also houses makerspaces with capabilities for film editing, 3-D printing, and robotics. On top of all that, visitors can peruse two-floors of shelves that hold more than 300,000 books, including what Mayor Robert Garcia called “one of the largest comics and graphic novel collections in Southern California.”

穿过一个面向天空的两层采光井后，游客就会进入一个大型的中央中庭——顶部有宽大的天窗——这为室内提供了增强的孔隙感和丰富的自然光线。

空间感觉像一个广阔的亭子，有广阔的视线，柔和的光线渗透到相邻的阅览室、工作室和书架。它也在一天的过程中变换，容纳了研讨会、社交聚会、展览和公共活动。

After passing through a dramatic two-story light well that opens to the sky, visitors are welcomed into a large central atrium—topped with a generous clerestory—that provides the interiors with an enhanced sense of porosity and abundant natural light. The space feels like an expansive pavilion, with extensive sightlines throughout and soft illumination permeating the adjacent reading rooms, studios, and bookstacks. It also transforms over the course of a day, accommodating workshops, social gatherings, exhibits, and public events.

中庭的主要楼层外是儿童文学区和一个封闭的温控房间，里面存放着图书馆的特殊藏书，其中包括可以追溯到15世纪的稀有文献、丰富的美术书籍等。

电脑、安静的阅读区、一个专门的青少年区和创客空间可用于二楼，以及沿着周边的全玻璃的休息室座位，为居住者提供了一览无余的林肯公园和周围社区的景色。

Just off the atrium’s main level are the children’s literature area and an enclosed, temperature-controlled room that houses the library’s special collections, which consists of rare texts dating back to the 15th century, a rich selection of fine arts volumes, and more. Computers, quiet reading areas, a dedicated teen zone, and makerspaces are available for use on the second floor, as well as lounge seating along the perimeter’s full height glazing that offers occupants unobstructed views of the adjoining Lincoln Park and surrounding neighborhood.

比莉-珍-金主图书馆有一个宽阔的木质框架 "门廊"，迎接社区的到来，内部空间和活动的多样性，以及一个向当地土著和著名运动员致敬的名字，她以的发球的力量而闻名，比莉-珍-金主图书馆像长滩市的一座引人入胜的灯塔。

With an expansive wood-framed “porch” that greets the community, a diverse set of interior spaces and activities, and a name that pays homage to the local native and famed athlete known for the power of her serves and volleys, the Billie Jean King Main Library is an inviting beacon for the City of Long Beach.
