Equal Access to Educational, Informational & Recreational Resources
Professional, Courteous & Friendly Service Integral & Cooperative Part of the Community
Promoting Life Long Learning while maintaining Sound Fiscal Management
Facilities and Services Committee (two board members and staff) met constantly for the past four months.
Analyzed input from past project plans, the long range plan, public meetings, online survey, and daily feedback between staff and patrons.
Reviewed recommendations from the “Existing Conditions” report completed earlier this year.
Worked with the architects to develop a renovation plan (staying within the existing footprint) that will meet today’s needs and provide flexibility for the future.
We believe renovating the existing library will provide the community the best service to our residents and patrons and return on investment for the foreseeable future.
The last renovation of the library was in 1996. Mechanical systems are at or near end of life. Electrical and computer network infrastructure needs
upgrade to accommodate changing technologies and additional portable electronic devices.
Better accessibility is needed. Carpeting is worn out. Furniture is old. Finishes have deteriorated and are showing wear and
tear. Lighting fixtures are outdated and inefficient. Need to
bring in natural lighting. Book security system is aged and difficult to support. Most book stacks are original equipment, now over
35 years old.
Space Shortage ◦ Staff & Public for Tutoring, Programs & Meetings ◦ Community Use
Updates Needed ◦ Carpeting, Furniture, General Appearance
Infrastructure Problems ◦ Mechanicals ◦ Wiring for technology expansion ◦ ADA Accessibility Compliance & Noise Abatement

If approved detailed project plans will be developed and bids let. Renovations could start as early as Fall 2014. The length of the renovation time will be dependent on the extent of the renovations. It is anticipated the library will be closed during the majority of the renovation time period. Contingency plans are being developed for temporarily relocating library services.
We will conduct public meetings and outreach in the upcoming months.
We welcome your feedback. We anticipate the Library Board will vote on a final
plan at our March board meeting. If this changes, information will be posted to the library website.
Once the board approves a plan the school district will be notified to place a referendum on the May ballot.
A vote will take place at the regular school district/library vote on Tuesday, May 20th.
We will keep the community up-to-date as we proceed with this planning process through the library website, email and print newsletters, and other media.
The library mechanicals will continue to deteriorate resulting in downtime for repairs.
Library finishes will continue to deteriorate resulting in potentially unsafe and unsightly conditions.
More money will need to be spent on upkeep and maintenance.
Library patrons will continue to express their displeasure with the condition of the library.
Library patrons and residents will be inconvenienced and must go outside our community to obtain a quality library experience.
Construction costs will continue to escalate. Delaying improvements may results in higher costs in the future.
We welcome your questions. Please be courteous and allow everyone to ask their questions without comment or interruption.
The Board President will recognize those who wish to ask a question.
We encourage you to complete and return a comment card (as stated earlier).
