Summary

Officials said the architect and working group have gathered community input and that Monday's meeting at Carpenter Hall from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. will likely be the last before concept designs are produced. The city encouraged residents to share ideas about the user experience and space planning.

Speaker 2, an unnamed city official, said the next community meeting for the library renovation project is Monday the 10th from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. at Carpenter Hall and described it as likely the last meeting before the project moves to the concept design phase. “This will be, I think, the last meeting before we have concept designs to look at,” Speaker 2 said.

Officials said the architect and the working group have been collecting community feedback and will use residents’ input about what they want to experience as they move through the library to inform space planning and concept design. Speaker 2 encouraged residents to share thoughts about feelings, activities and functional needs so the architect can translate those ideas into drawings and plans.

No design options were presented at the briefing, and no funding votes or new budget figures were offered. The city asked interested residents to attend the meeting and contribute feedback.
