Greenwood Public Library Looking to Expand

Monday, February 26th, 2024 -- 3:01 PM

The Greenwood Public Library is looking to expand.

The Greenwood Area Library serves citizens of the city and surrounding townships. The vision for the new space is carefully crafted to enhance library services.  “Grounded and Growing” is the slogan of the Greenwood community.

The public library needs to grow to provide for the changing needs of the future. Some highlights of the project include an accessible space for all including safe and accessible handicapped parking; updates to restroom including a diaper changing station; a variety of seating options for readers and visitors with personal devices; work space for small groups; spaces for quiet study; and space for young library users to gather.

For the facility and collection, a creative design that does not require increase in staffing; low maintenance building and grounds; uncluttered foyer entrance; low-profile, mobile shelving for clear sightlines and to meet future changing needs; abundant natural light; space for expanded and flexible collection; space to display local history collection for public use; space for staff workspace; and expanded storage for additional seating, program and service supplies.

The Program Room including a community space for flexibility to meet future changing needs; versatile and dedicated space for programs, class visits, and meetings; program room with kitchenette for holding events for all ages; and program room technology for virtual meetings and programs.

Finally, future forward technology including increased public computer stations and seating and tables for patrons with personal devices; technology for Kids Zone; exploration area for youth; updated electrical outlets; and updated, budget friendly LED lighting.
