We’re excited to share our updated two-story concept developed in May 2025, featuring lots of sunlight, natural materials and cozy spaces. Renderings of more interior spaces are on the way, including a beautiful fireplace area and inviting teen space.
There’s so much to look forward to in the new library:
- Easy Parking – Ample, accessible parking and a convenient book drop
- Great for Kids – An expanded children’s area with dedicated story time space and outdoor access
- Cozy and Relaxing – A fireplace reading area designed to inspire meaningful community connection, relaxation, and quiet reflection
- Study and Meeting Spaces – A conference room and multiple study rooms for tutors, remote workers and meetings
- New Features – A large, flexible events space, an engaging bookstore featuring unique gifts and used books, and a café
- Welcoming Community Hub – Thoughtfully-designed spaces that can accommodate simultaneous programs and services for all ages

Below are initial draft renderings of our one-story concept from the schematic design process completed in spring 2024.
