Improving safety and spatial clarity is a key design priority. The children’s collection was consolidated entirely on the third floor, establishing clear separation from adult areas and creating a cohesive, family-focused environment. This reorganization also resolves inefficiencies caused by collections that have outgrown their original footprint.
This year the teen area will be relocated to a dedicated second-floor space designed for visibility, flexibility, and independent use. With these changes, the first floor will house the adult AV collection, new study rooms, and social work offices supporting individuals experiencing homelessness—reinforcing the library’s role as an inclusive and responsive community resource.
