The City Council gave preliminary approval Wednesday to an expansion of the Arcadia Public Library that may add 15,000 square feet of space at a cost of about $3.5 million.
Charles Walton Associates, the architect selected to design the $3.5 million library renovation, will hold a "design camp" at the library where the public, library staff and city officials will informally discuss possible design plans.
The Arcadia Public Library will be expanding and renovating its existing structure beginning early this summer. The temporary closure schedule is discussed.
The expansion and creation of recreation and activity programs at all school levels and extending Arcadia Public Library hours to include Sunday afternoon topped the list of recommendations in the Youth Master Plan.
The library reopens after the expansion/renovation project with grand re-opening events. Alexis Powers and Gloria Horstman will present book reviews, David Monty will perform a magic show, and many family activities are planned for November 16-22.
