BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

The city and library staff’s primary goal for expanding services at the existing Main Library is to expand the public’s understanding of what a library can be and fulfill roles including but beyond those that are traditional library services. The Main Library Master Plan represents the findings of an information gathering phase from the city, the library staff, and the Library’s Long-Range Plan as prepared by the Komatsu Architecture/Godfrey’s Associates team in 2000. Data from the previous Long-Range Plan indicates the need for the expansion and renovation of the Main Library to more than double its current size, with a corresponding paring increase. The expanded Main Library is planned to increase from 25,000 SF to nearly 58,000 SF.
