— from Phil Heikkinen, Orcas Public Library Director —
Recent Library Expansion Project design (the library’s current entrance and drop off box would be at upper right-hand corner of this drawing.) Come help finalize plans on Friday, Nov. 13
Books and Beyond: the Next Chapter turns another page!
Our project designers, HKP Architects, brought the conceptual drawing shown on this page to meetings here on Orcas Island recently. Now they are scheduled to return with new drawings that incorporate abundant feedback from staff, volunteers, Library Trustees, and community members.
Please join us at the Library on Friday, November 13, from either 2 to 4 pm or 5 to 7 pm to see HKP’s newest ideas and share your feedback.
We have been busy studying site conditions and budget estimates, and are prioritizing the needs for additional space. Now we are ready to focus on design ideas that will allow us to offer the best possible resources and services for the most affordable cost, both for the project itself and from year to year.
Please get back to me with any questions or comments, at pheikkinen@orcaslibrary.org, by phone at 376-4985, or by dropping by the Library.
