To come up with a plan that is Functional, Durable, and Practical,
we considered first, the basic question:
What is a Library?
It is a dynamic community hub where patrons
can enrich their lives by participating in opportunities for
lifelong learning, creativity, socializing, and culture.
No matter who they are.
