Library seeks new copier and a space‑needs study to explore expansion
Summary
Library staff asked the CIP committee to lease/replace a failing copier and to fund a space‑needs study to evaluate options — including an expansion that could roughly double the 16,000‑sq‑ft historic building to ~30,000 sq ft. The library said the current machine is more than 10 years old and vendor support ended.
The library asked the committee to budget two CIP items for 2027: a leased copier/scanner/printer to replace an unsupported machine that has begun failing, and a professional space‑needs study to assess future options for the Carnegie library building.
The presenter said, "The machine's now over 10 years old... it's now printing in these black streaks on everything," and recommended leasing a replacement for a short period then purchasing with CIP funds in 2027. On the larger question, staff told the committee a new study would examine options including expansion to the south over the alley, relocation, or remodel; a prior 2007 study estimated need around 30,855 square feet and recent preliminary work produced a similar figure.
