New Library Renderings 10/23/2009



These renderings are preliminary. Brick and other materials are subject to change. The building will feature brick and stone from local quarries. The building was designed from the inside out. Efficient and attractive interior spaces and ease of movement through the building were highest priorities. That and the overwhelming demand for many windows led to the current design. Here are some of the exciting features of this design:
  • As a response to popular demand, floor to ceiling windows on the east side of the building offering views of the creek and the mountains.
  • Comfortable seating in designated quiet areas placed near windows and other attractive areas.
  • Meeting rooms and adult spaces which are separate from children and teen areas.
  • Quiet, enclosed (but still visible) computer areas.
  • Round area on corner of Main St. and Center St. is children's reading area. This feature allows pedestrians outside the building to see the light, colors and activities happening inside the building.
  • The design intentionally brings natural light into the building while maintaining a connection to beautiful outdoor surroundings.
