This caused the dirt to slowly erode, and mulch began to build up along the side of the building. The county government’s fleet and facilities management also recognized that the drain boxes did not have header curbs allowing water to flow freely.

The renovation will include a new digital media studio equipped for video production, an updated children’s section, a new study room, and new furniture. To create a more open floor plan, the library will be planned to remove an information desk that currently sits in the middle of the building. A new service kiosk will be added, a library spokeswoman states.

The renovation of the 25,000-square-foot library, located at 8051 Ashton Avenue near Manassas, will cost just under $1 million.
