For an idea of what your renewed library might look like, check out these beautiful artist renderings:
Artist rendering of the renewed library from the Northeast (6th and Douglas). On the right you see the renovated historic 1904 section of the building. In the center are the entrance and the new, larger Farwell T. Brown Auditorium. On the left you see the preserved architecture from the 1985 addition.
Artist rendering of the renewed library from the Southeast (5th and Douglas). On the left you see the new addition on the currently vacant lot transitioning into the architecture of the 1985 addition. In the center you see the corner of the children's area expanded out to the other 1985 walls with large windows to let in natural light..
