How will the new Central Library be an improvement over the John Henry Faulk Central Library?
The Central Library is 30 years old and was built for a population of only 300,000 people. Today the city has more than 700,000 people. There is no space to add depth to the collection. It has no auditorium or public meeting room space. Electrical systems are inadequate. The parking is not sufficient. There simply is not enough public space in the building to meet the needs of the community.
