The new strategically designed layout will offer patrons more open space for programming and allow for a better flow, a community room for civic organizations, one quiet study room and two study-conference rooms, each holding up to four people.
New inviting seating will be available, both in the study rooms and open-space areas. The library's bathrooms will be renovated and expanded to be made compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Once renovations are complete, the library will have a redesigned, full-service, concierge desk with reference and circulation services, and will continue to offer a full-range of library materials such as books, children's materials, audio-visual, and periodicals as well as access to the digital library and its resources through public access computers.
