The document outlines plans to renovate the Palisades Neighborhood Library in Washington D.C. from fall 2016 to fall 2017. It will include designing plans in fall 2016, beginning construction in winter 2016/17, and reopening the renovated library to the public in fall 2017. The renovation aims to update the existing building plans and increase public spaces like adult and children's services areas while reducing staff spaces. Community input is encouraged on the proposed renovation concepts and plans.
