Concept C: ‘Library & Community Center’

Fully accessible library and community center with broader range of city services. Maintain existing library collection. 60% increase in usable space (approx. 4,000sqft). Increased staff and largest cost.

Option C envisions a new Library- Community center in which the library partners with a non-profit, for profit, and/ or city department(s) to provide a wider range of services using both library and non-library staff. Traditional library services are provided with additional space allocated for the community resource center.
