Main Library Project
Design Considerations
In July,
the Library Executive Director and 11 other board and staff members attended
a Suburban Library System's presentation on the "Library
of the Future," a newly built Canadian library which has garnered
numerous awards.
On
July 31, the Library Executive Director and Assistant Director along with
several architects from Nagle Hartray, visited the newly built downtown
Kalamazoo Public Library in Kalamazoo,
Michigan. This newly expanded library features a light prism designed
by the light artist Michal Hayden who created the moving neon light artwork
in the tunnel connecting the United Airline terminals at O'Hare Airport.
The Kalamazoo Public Library project is similar to the proposed Oak Park project in that it is 100,000 square feet on three above grade levels on a constrained corner site. Several staff members attended a presentation by the building team for the Kalamazoo Public Library at the American Library Association conference in Chicago earlier in July.
