It summarizes feedback from a community consultation workshop where residents identified important elements for the new library such as comfortable seating, quiet study spaces, and natural daylight. The presentation shows the proposed site plan and floor plans for the new building with improved features like a book drop-off area and outdoor terrace. Exterior perspective drawings of the design are also included.
