A New Central Library
Exterior from Mifflin and Fairchild Streets.
It's a new chapter for the Central Library. Peek inside the new library with the Final Design Presentation from April 7, 2011 of the new Central Library, presented by architects Tracy Lesneski of Meyer, Scherer & Rockcastle and Doug Hursh of Potter Lawson.
What's next?
The Central Library closed to the public on November 11. The Central Library is open at our interim location at 126 S. Hamilton St. and we will remain at that location until the construction of the new Central Library is completed in 2013. See details about the interim space.
