The Building Committee will frequently be meeting either virtually or in person with representatives from Studio GC, our architectural firm. The public may attend these meetings. Many, but not all, will be held on Tuesday afternoons. Contact the Library for specific times, formats, locations and links.
The agenda for these meetings is to discuss the layout, plans, details, materials, fixtures, furnishings, and equipment for the new library. We will also discuss the budget, the bid process and documents, and scheduling. This information will then be presented to the full Board for final decisions.
