Here is a list of known deferred building renovation, restoration and maintenance needs that should be addressed over the next two years: 2024 through 2025.
These are needs that address the protection of the buildings, the collections, and the public who use them. They are minimal requirements to assure our libraries remain attractive to, safe, accessible, and comfortable for, the over 2 million annual visitors!
Sadly, this represents over $24 million in deferred need--meaning these projects should have already been funded and completed. Further delay will only result in higher costs and ongoing degradation of the facilities.
