Back when the new library building was built in 2000, a portion of the second floor was set aside as an unfinished “shell” space with anticipation that community growth would find us needing this space in about 20 years. The library’s district indeed has grown, and we are still walking on the original carpet in most of the building some 22 years later. It’s time to replace the carpet and furnish the shell space!

The Board and Library Administration have been saving money from each year’s budget in anticipation of this work, which will be in two phases in 2023. The first phase took place from March to May, and the rest is scheduled to begin in August and end by October. The end result will combine all books for adults on the second floor and provide unique individual study areas for remote and freelance workers and students. The first floor will feature an improved teen area, give middle schoolers a place of their own, and provide new seating and collaborative spaces for all ages. Details about the project and the impact it will have on the availability of materials and study spaces will be posted here on this page as work progresses.

PHASE 3: COMPLETE

  • We have moved all of the collections into place and the 2nd floor is open for browsing and study. We have laptops to checkout, or use a computer on the 1st floor until we can get our new computers installed.
  • Carpeting will continue in the mornings before we open as spaces become available. The library's Book Nook under the stairs will be unavailable through Monday, Oct. 2 - while it is being recarpeted.
  • Due to the remodel, the library is auctioning off some of its old furniture. Visit the main page of the website for a link to the current auctions!

Thank you for your patience during the remodel. We were pleased to stay open as best we could and opened up spaces again as soon as it was safe to do so.

The Youth Services Staff Workroom was also renovated during this time. It can now accommodate more employees, which we anticipate needing once we expand the Middle School and High School "Teen" areas of the library.
