The library's focus is as a community center for educational and cultural activities, independent learning, and family literacy. Feasibility study to examine options to upgrade and modernize the existing 55,000 sq. ft. library. Built-in 1973, the library still had many original systems, windows, and elevator. The children's, teens, and meeting rooms are the highest priority areas. A comprehensive facilities assessment was conducted along with space planning to determine if the library could accommodate a second floor or an addition.

The Library program supports a Bookmobile, which visits area childcare and assisted living centers. Library Development Solutions conducted a community survey. The feedback has informed the feasibility study and design.

Following the study, TSKP developed the design to upgrade the original building infrastructure, finishes, and services and reorganize Library functions and space. An addition of 5,600 sq.ft., proposed on the southwest side of the existing building, provides greatly expanded meeting facilities and multi-purpose rooms.
