Library renovations included the creation of a new Teen Space within the
existing Teen Area to help noise reduction after school; a new glass
wall was built to provide a quiet reading area for adults; aluminum wall
panels were installed on the interior main corridor and the Information
Desk; a new slat wall area was installed in the lobby, including a flat
screen monitor and a display for Library handouts and books; new book
shelves were added in the main corridor for Holds, New Books, and DVDs,
making customer self-checkout an easier process; and, a wall was
installed between two meeting rooms to replace a divider partition. In
addition, the renovated Library will have new computer chairs, a
refinished circulation desk, refinished wooden children’s chairs and
tables, reupholstered lounge and table seating, and repainted interior
walls.
