The current library will be replaced with a new one, at the same location. Our Association was highly interested in not having it moved to a new location and had a significant voice in the decision to keep the same location.
The following chart compares the current and new libraries.
| Service | Current | Proposed |
|---|---|---|
| Building Size | 5,880 square feet | 9,000 square feet |
| Computers | 11 | 25 |
| Seats | 42 | 52 |
| Program Room | 0 persons | 25 persons |
| Parking | 38 spaces | 45+ spaces |
The new library design will utilize about 30% of the space occupied by the neighborhood garden. It is expected that redesign of the garden for more efficiency will mitigate any impact. There will be space for a possible cafe vendor. There will be vending machines and what is called an Internet Cafe for comfortable reading and computer searching even if no vendor can be found. There will be a community room of almost 1,000 square feet. The project is in the design phase. There have been two meetings to discuss the design and receive inputs from the patrons. The next community meeting which will have a presentation from the architect, will be on 26 June, 6:30 PM, at the library. The award date for construction is 06/30/2009, the construction start date is 10/15/2009, and the beneficial use date is 02/26/2011. As a result, library services will not be available for a little over a year.
