Thank you for your participation and interest in the development of a new library building project. 

Based on results from our first survey and roundtable discussions, we have worked with Alley Poyner Macchietto Architecture to develop options for additional components that could be included in a new library building.

Please share your thoughts and help us design the best building for our community by taking this short survey regarding the size and scope of potential additional features.
