Workshop kicks off design phase for new Wasilla library

WASILLA — ECI/Hyer Architects will host a public workshop from 4:30 to 7 p.m., Sept. 18 at Wasilla City Hall to kick off the 35 percent schematic design phase for the new Wasilla Public Library to be built at the corner of Swanson Avenue and Crusey Street, adjacent to Wasilla Middle School.

The new library will provide useful amenities to better serve the community, including multi-purpose rooms, small study rooms for more focused work and small group collaboration, a teen area, designated story time space, a business center and computers for public use. If funding is secured, the new building could be opened in early 2016.
