One of two preferred plans calls for a 50,000-square-foot, two-story addition to the library's east wing, requiring relocation of the downtown bus transfer station and closure of N. Oneida Street north of Washington Avenue.

The other preferred plan eyes a new, 138,000-square-foot library somewhere in the central business district bordered by the Canadian National railroad tracks on the north, Lawrence Street on the south, the Fox River on the east and Richmond Street on the west.

The consultants will present a final recommendation to the library board June 30.
