Nestled in the northeast corner of Monroe County is the charming little town of Cresco. For years, it had been the dream of the community to build a new library. Their dream was recently realized when their new facility was opened in June of 2008. It was the library’s desire to provide an environment that felt like home. Along with their architect, Mr. Bob Strunk, they were able to achieve just that. One of our favorite parts of the library is the wraparound porch complete with rockers where patrons can either read a book or use a laptop. The library features MJ Industries System 3000 shelving and tables and chairs from Palmieri Furniture. To read testimonial letter from the library, please click here.

Shelving

End Panels

End Panels have the ability to make a library traditional with dark wood tones and moldings, modern with perforated metals, themes with cut outs or anything in between with flat wood and acrylics. Many libraries like to make end panels for more than decoration by adding end of range PAC station, display shelves or slatwall. With many of the custom millwork facilies we work with, such things as wood inlays of logos are also a possibility.

End panels can make or break the look of a library. You can really show creativity with end panels with even the most simplistic of furniture. African American Research Library Broward County, FL

Tables And Carrels

Tables and carrels come in literally dozens of designs; some all wood, some with wood and metal and some with even 3-Form acrylics and wood. J. P. Jay Associates represents some of the manufacturers of wood furnishings you would recognize from attending ALA exhibits as well as custom manufacturers when specialty items are needed in small quantities. Today’s library furniture is done in numerous species of wood with table tops made of wood veneer, high pressure laminate, Marmoleum and even glass.

Seating

Seating comes in all shapes, sizes and materials such as wood, wood/metal, upholstered seats or backs or both. We've tried to showcase a few different styles here; however, with the hundred's of chairs that are available, it would be impossible for us to add thumbnails of all of them without it being a website in itself. Of course there's also stacking chairs wich are shown on the miscellaneous pages.

Lounge seating is also available in many options and designs. With an even larger amount of lounge styles out there it's equally as difficult to showcase them all.

Fabric on both reading chairs and lounge chairs can be selected from manufacturers standards or C.O.M. which would mean you selected the fabric from a different source. Fabric has come a long way over the years, for example there is now a fabric treatment to resist stains and is also antimicrobial.

Accent The Accent chair with its contemporary design is available in both upholstered and open-slat back, offering a dual choice in many applications. Accent's padded foam seat offers maximum comfort. Beech hardwood frames guarantee stability, longevity, and a smooth clean finish to easily match new or existing furnishings.

Harbor Harbor showcases an elegant style with strong craftsmanship and traditional design. Featuring hand carved wood and upholstered arms. Harbor is offered in 13 maple finishes.

Parker Parker displays a versatile style by offering a square or round seat which will compliment any existing furnishings.

Logan Timeless in design and unlimited in application, Logan embodies the excellence of wood guest seating. Steambent back rails and arms join to form a curved sculptural profile. Logan stacks up to five high for maximum storage flexibility. Hardwood frames ensure a smooth lustrous finish and sturdy construction for long term wear.

Nelson Nelson has a contemporary style with an "X" back metal frame. Chairs are finished with baked powder epoxy that is environmentally safe and durable. Choose from 30 metal finishes to complement any application.

Avalon Avalon combines a beech wood seat and back with a baked powder epoxy frame. Coordinate each piece with our selection of 30 metal finishes and 13 wood finishes.

Americana The Americana chair is one of our original chairs from 1929. This popular style is now offered with several options including tablet arms, swivel bases, jury bases and barstools.

Children's Furniture

TMC's line of children's furniture can brighten up any area of the library with bright wood finishes, fun cut outs and cute perimeter cut outs. Even their lounge furniture is the perfect size for the little ones to sit and read. They even offer a chair and a half for parents to sit with their child to read.

Circulation Desks

Like end panels, circulation and information desks have the ability to give your library a traditional or modern theme or a simple feel with the use of different materials and designs. Again with the use of our custom millwork facilities, we have the capabilities to manufacture any design that can be thought up. If a custom desk isn't what you're looking for, Palmieri Furniture also manufactures standard desks with standard components. We like to take the time to sit down with the library staff to layout the entire desk to be sure it meets everyone's needs and is functional.

Compact Shelving

High density compact shelving is a necessity in any library where floor space is a problem. The use of high density compact shelving can more than double shelf space when compared to freestanding shelving.
