The library will get a new monumental stair and glazed reading rooms to connect the expansion to the building’s original front section.
The project will also expand the library’s children’s room and create a young adult area, while adding space for additional computers and other technology.
In addition, Finegold Alexander plans to reinstall three skylights and restore the library’s original interior, as it appeared in 1902.
