In June 2019, the New York Real Estate Journal posted an article about a major redevelopment of the children's section of the Port Washington Public Library in Port Washington, NY. According to a quote from Nancy Curtin, Port Washington Public Library director, the goal of the project was to create a modern library space that took into account the many ways children learn. At the heart of the new library is a "Tree of Knowledge," inspired by the theory of multiple intelligences. The colorful tree is made of eight branches--one for each intelligence--each of which leads to a different learning area within the library.
