MCPL Director Sara Laughlin says part of the plans include a new community outreach offices and new meeting room and renovation of the library's auditorium, space for a bookstore and children's program room. The second phase will begin in January 2015
The space on the first floor dedicated to movies and music, as well as the current Community Outreach offices and bookstore, will become a teen center and digital creativity lab.
