The new Astor Library represents an exciting chapter in community development, aiming to deliver an enhanced and expansive facility covering approximately 5,000 square feet. This new single-story library is envisioned not merely as a physical structure but as a vibrant hub fostering community growth and knowledge sharing.
Central to the design is a dynamic primary book area, where a carefully curated blend of library shelving and seating at tables will offer an inviting space for readers of all ages. Beyond its role as a library, the new facility is designed to be a versatile community space.
In addition to the main book area, the facility will house meeting room(s) that can serve as gathering spaces for various community activities and events. A dedicated community services office will provide a centralized point for valuable local resources, fostering connectivity and support.
Recognizing the importance of functionality, the design incorporates support and workroom areas specifically allocated for library staff and supervisors. This thoughtful consideration ensures that the library operates efficiently, offering an environment conducive to both collaboration and individual productivity.
