When Richmonder Ali Faruk snapped a picture of a desk for working parents at Henrico’s Fairfield Area Library and posted it to Twitter, he didn’t think much of it.
"A new public library in my area has these work stations for caregivers with babies!" he tweeted. "Maybe these are common in other places but [I've] never seen anything like this before."
The computer work-and-play stations at Fairfield Area Library debuted in 2019 when the brand new $29 million library opened to the public at 1401 N. Laburnum Ave. in Henrico.
There are four parent-child carrels joined together in a cluster on the second floor of the library in the children’s area. The desks were designed by the Henrico County Public Library and Quinn Evans, an architecture firm with a location based in Richmond, which designed the library. The idea for the parent-child carrels arose during the planning phase for the new 44,800-square-foot library building.
