The renovation project included the replacement of all the windows and doors, the replacement of the heating and air conditioning system with equipment that will save energy and space, ADA-compliant restrooms, redesigned areas for patrons of all ages, space for wireless computing, and the reconfiguration of the library entrances. New popular books and media will fill the open atrium of the library, and book stacks will be located along the sides of the building. A glass enclosed reading room will highlight the Wyckoff Avenue view. The updated program room will open directly into the children’s area for easy access to story times and crafts.
