Once complete, the renovation project will result in the conversion of 2,500 square feet of unused space into usable space.
The plan, which was designed after a series of community charrettes, includes an expansion of the children’s program room and a reconfiguration of the main floor to accommodate a more efficient flow, additional book stacks and a quiet study room, the library said in a release.
