This library provides information to the community through its collections, programs and classes. When the building was designed, it incorporated elements from two architecturally significant buildings in West Lafayette, the Frank Lloyd Wright home, SAMARA, and a Louis Sullivan designed building. Dr. Christian, owner of SAMARA, has chosen the library to permanently house his exhibit of artifacts from his home when it is not on display elsewhere.
