Project Background

The Park Grove Library redesign project began in early 2025 with a feasibility study and community engagement efforts led by Alliiance architects.

The current library building was constructed in 1984 and needs major improvements to meet current community needs. Parking and visibility on the site are also a challenge. The redesigned library will be more energy efficient and include additional meeting and study rooms, a dedicated space for teens, a vibrant children's area, and other community-focused spaces.

The redesigned library is expected to reopen in early 2027.
