Marilyn J. Praisner Branch Library

The Marilyn J. Praisner Branch Library is located in the suburban setting of Burtonsville, Maryland shares a “campus” with MNCPP’s Columbia Park and  Fairland Community Recreation Center next door. With distinctive skylights and a cylindrical teal roof, the red brick building also features distinctive flower gardens donated and maintained by the Friends of the Library, Fairland Chapter. Inside, natural light from the skylights is softened by a system of “flags” suspended from the high ceilings which creates an airy feel inside the building.  All library functions and facilities are on a single floor, with a single desk serving adults and children.
