BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In Spring 2001 the Library Board of Trustees directed Library Services Director Nancy C. Martinez to investigate costs for upgrading the finishes in the existing library facility. The resulting proposal recommended that any project be divided into three distinct areas—the Community Room/Lobby, the Public Service and Collection Areas and the Staff/Workroom Areas. In light of the impending development of a Library Facilities Master Plan, the Library Board of Trustees directed library administration to work with WMB to develop plans and specification for improving the look of the community room complex and lobby. The project includes the following: new carpeting, new wall covering, new paint, creation of a Friends of the Library office from an existing storage closet, upgrading lighting fixtures for greater visibility and energy efficiency, new window treatments, and painting the ceiling tiles. The electrical upgrades for more energy efficient lighting will be partially funded (20%) by the Electric Utility Public Benefits Fund.
