NC State University calls this library "Our Library of The Future".

Dorothea Dix Park sits right outside the entrance to Centennial Campus, where LakeShore Raleigh is situated. It was host to the Sunflower Field in 2018, and Dreamville Festival this year, which both brought tens of thousands of visitors to the park. The bold vision for Dorothea Dix Park includes amenities that encompass arts and culture, wellness and play, food and community, gardens and ecology, and history and reflection. It's no wonder it's being called Raleigh's Central Park by many.
