Covington library undergoes $9M renovation. (WCPO.com, 5/23/2011)
Excerpt: The project “Rebuilding for the Future” includes adding 10,000 square feet to the front of the 37-year-old library.
It will also house 40 new computers to the 60 already in use. The new computers will include the newest technology for the children’s section and to-be-expanded teen-reading area.
“We are providing age-appropriate computers so we’ll have computers specifically for early literacy, specifically for teens, and specifically designed for the needs of our adult community members,” said Julie Allegrini, the Covington Branch manager.
Allegrini said the use of the building has increased and space is limited, therefore, Phase I of the Covington Library branch renovation and expansion project will include:
- construction of temporary staff offices on the first floor
- construction of the new circulation department
- construction of a drive-thru for circulation
- beginning of construction of the lower level children's department
- renovation of 2nd-floor, to create genealogy department
