Responsible for the design of the original 26,000-sq.-ft. library and the addition, LPA expanded this library to a total of 42,000-sq.-ft. The 16,000-sq.-ft. addition included a local television station studio, an expanded children's area, an enlargement of the library's data capabilities providing more computers in a new area with greater public access to technology, additional study rooms and a larger local history and genealogy area. The original library features specialized technology for on-line research, young adult programs, children's story-time theater, local historical research and display, cultural events, and Friends of the Library retail space.
