With three levels, 80,000 square feet of community spaces, meeting rooms, computers, rooftop gardens, and of course books, there is something for everyone. This new state of the art library houses a collection of approximately 200,000 print and electronic items and provides spaces for users of all ages, including dedicated areas for children, teens and adult literacy. The Downtown Library will also include special collections such as Genealogy and Local History.
