This document outlines plans to renovate the Capitol View Library. It discusses modernizing the interior with a new entrance, furniture, and meeting spaces. The renovation will have two phases - the first involves interior work and reopening in December 2017. The second phase focuses on exterior design plans, including options for the facade and landscaping. During this phase in spring 2018, the library will close temporarily and reopen in fall 2018 after completing both interior and exterior renovations. An interim library location will operate during the closure. Community feedback on the exterior design was also presented.
