Cari Cusick, library director, said the library is expected to be constructed in 2023 and completed in early 2024. “It’s almost surreal that it’s finally, finally happening,” she said. “A decade of work preceded it. It’s pretty amazing to see this.” … The building will be 25,000 square feet and set on the east side of Military Park. It will feature children’s, teen and adult areas, updated seating areas and an indoor/outdoor seating area to connect the library to Military Park. There will be a drive-through window for book drop-off, as well as service during business hours. It will also feature study rooms and meeting rooms. Cusick said there was a large demand for meeting rooms and private study areas before the pandemic. Now with more people working remotely, she said there’s an even bigger demand. She said having separated areas for teens to use would also be a big get as well as off-street parking.
