Glencoe officials will soon formally hit the books on a multi-million-dollar project that would start a new chapter for a beloved institution.
Village trustees during their Thursday, Oct. 16 Committee of the Whole meeting heard a thorough presentation from Glencoe Public Library officials that detailed the library’s plans for a massive renovation and expansion project.
The library’s large-scale vision for reimagining its building on Park Avenue aims to create more versatile spaces, improve accessibility and add smart, sustainable and safe systems to the facility, officials said.
Plans call for multiple additions to the existing structure and design proposals, according to library documents, will bring “intuitive, community-focused spaces where people can gather for innovative programming; collaborate or work independently; learn, reflect, dream and play.”
