Council Approves Library Facility Design and Budget Plan
The council accepted a 46,000 to 48,800 square foot library project featuring an overhanging roof and colonnade with enhanced wood paneling. The plan includes a central mezzanine, a main reading lounge with Mexican terrazzo tiles, and a basement option for future expansion. Construction costs hover around $605,000 with contingencies raising the total, while county and city funding discussions propose a 50 50 split up to $150,000 and further bond adjustments for the civic center project.
