Renovations
In August of 2013, voters approved an additional 4/10 (.4) of a mill for 30 years to fund renovations and services. The renovations that were mostly completed in 2015 maintained the library as a beautiful downtown destination with wonderfully varied collections, services, and high tech systems—all to make your visit a valuable experience. The renovations were designed by Quinn Evans Architects and managed by the Christman Company. Some of the renovations included:

- new furniture, computer lab, technology in study rooms
