Current Status - The existing building has faithfully served its purpose as a library over the past 36 years. - Concerted effort through our capital plan in modernizing our older locations throughout the Library System. - As it sits today, the existing Key Biscayne Library falls into what would call a "legacy" location as compared to the range of services and programs that we are able to provide in our renovated and new locations. - We want to change that by building a brand new library at the existing location. Current Status - We engaged with an architectural firm, Ferguson Glasgow Schuster Soto, Inc., to work with us in developing conceptual design renderings for a new library. - I'm going to share those renderings with this Council today. - We consider today a first step in sharing these design renderings with the public and plan on scheduling community meetings and providing other feedback opportunities for the project.
