Phase 2 of the library renovation project is happening now! This phase includes the creation of small group study rooms, a small conference room, an expanded public computer lab with new equipment, a renovated Indiana Room, a refreshed Learning Center, new lounge seating and tables with data and electrical drops, new end panels, and new carpeting. During construction, many services for adults are limited. The reference desk and a limited number of computer stations have been relocated temporarily to the Meeting Room.
