L. E. Phillips Remodeling Project Scaled Back

Link to 8/1 Eau Claire Leader Telegram article, "Scaled down library plan approved".

Excerpt:
The smaller version of the project has an estimated cost of $1.57 million [original price tag: $3.9 million], with three-quarters of the money going toward upgrades to the youth services area. Most of the new plan's construction would be apparent to customers as they enter the front door.

Currently, the checkout desk and circulation area are directly in front of the main doors, which often creates congestion at the library entrance. The new plan calls for moving circulation and checkout to the left of the front door with added shelving for items on hold.

The youth services area would then expand into the space currently occupied by circulation.
