Open House: Design Review

The Friends of the Juneau Public Libraries announce:
Open House: New Valley Library, 
Monday October 24th

5:30 pm @ Mendenhall Valley Library.

Refreshments and light supper provided

What makes a great library? Public insight, vision and support are needed to answer this important question. Come make this library your own. The event will showcase and discuss design options, the grant process, and community needs for a new library. In today's economy libraries are more important than ever and books are only half the story.

If you missed the Design Options Workshop, here's another chance.  We'll catch people up on project background, current conceptual drawings, community input and refinements and talk about the community involvement that will be needed to make this new library a reality.  Come take part in shaping a beautiful, functional library and community space in the heart of the Valley.

Please look at the designs now on display at the libraries and submit your comments here or in person at your neighborhood library.  All comments received will be forwarded to the architects for consideration in this design phase.  This will be the final public input session on the conceptual plan for the new library before we submit the grant application.  As we move forward in the new year, there will be many additional opportunities to influence the design.
