The Main Library Patio Renovation Project will add a large Luckey Climber play structure to the patio space, as well as new seating, reading and learning areas, lighting, hardscape, drought tolerant landscape, and irrigation. The patio was previously an underutilized, empty space with small patches of grass and concrete. The new site concept will be implemented to create a fully interactive play and learning space for children and families. Once completed, this amenity will help to encourage the community to visit the Library and utilize this newly renovated space.
