A New Central Library?
Recent news coverage of developer T. Wall’s proposed new Central Library is generating lots of questions. The proposal outlines a nine story mixed-use building at the corner of Mifflin and Fairchild streets and includes a new library on several floors. On Thursday, May 1, the Library Board agreed to go forward with a Request For Proposal (RFP) to begin the process of accepting proposals for purchasing and building on the current site. There will be five Library Board members on the committee to review the proposals submitted.
In the meantime, we are also beginning the interior construction of the expanded Sequoya Library, and in the beginning stages of building a new South Madison Library in the Villager Mall. It’s a busy time for the library. To help you - and us - keep track of all the changes, we’ve created a new page with updates about current or proposed library building projects. It also includes some demographic and library data the Library Board is using to plan for future library use and buildings. Stay tuned!
