The City of Somerville and the Somerville Public Library are embarking on a design process for a major renovation of the West Branch Library. The renovation will include repairing the historic exterior of the building, making the entire library accessible, and creating a space for twenty-first century library services. The design process will take place over the next several months.

We seek the community’s help reimagining the library of the future—evaluating current services, envisioning new opportunities, and exploring options to better utilize the building and grounds. The web dialogue starts now. Based on your feedback, new questions will be posed and the conversation expanded. In addition, online content will be posted as design options are developed.

designLAB architects will be leading the design process with a talented group of consultants. We would greatly appreciate you participation, thought, comments, and ideas.
