Library features and elements include extensive areas for youth and adults in both the fiction and non-fiction categories; a unique story-time rotunda with a special environment for youth learning and activities; a 1,600 SF public meeting room, with several smaller gathering venues; and a vibrant garden seating area with water feature. Also included are a bookmobile garage and outreach collection room, as well as numerous ancillary support spaces for off-site library services.
The children’s rotunda was transformed into a beehive-themed area, with bee sculptures commissioned by both a Chicago artist and a Paris, France artist. A demonstration beehive was also added with a link to the outside so that the bees could feast on the prairie landscape that surrounds the Library.
