Evolution of the Building
Library Renewal Project: Community Input Beginning in August 2013, the Library has held dozens of meetings, public events, and presentations to the Library Board and City Council. Distilling these discussions, the community said they’d like the Library Renewal Project to: 1. Repair and restore the Library, a major City asset 2. Honor the original Carnegie Library at the core of the building 3. Prepare the Library for the future Repeatedly expressed has been a desire to increase the natural light coming into the building.
