Please take a few minutes to view the Virtual Tour of the proposed interior renovations to the four floors of the library. All tours begin near the elevators with a very quick shot of what the rooms look like now.

Garden Level

The beginning is a quick shot of what the room looks like now with rows and rows of high book shelves. Then you are able to view our vision of an expanded Children’s Room with areas devoted to computers, crafts, picture books and an outside story garden, the most exciting aspect of the entire project. We will use that space to hold nature programs, story hours, and it will also be a place of refuge should the building need to be evacuated.

Garden Level

First Floor

You will see a new information desk for quick questions and notice the fact that removal of the open staircase highlights the beautiful arched entrance to the periodical room. We are able to add 25% more usable space on three floors without changing the footprint of the building. We also maintain areas for comfortable seating arrangements with views of the park.

First Floor

Second Floor

The Reference Department, the new computer lab, and the Young Adult area will be located on this floor.

Second Floor

Third Floor

We show that the meeting room will be smaller, holding about 50 people, but it will still have a view of the park. The Collection Management Department, Literacy Volunteers, and the small meeting room will be on this floor.

Third Floor
