The document summarizes a community meeting about the redesign of the Lamond-Riggs Neighborhood Library. It discusses the project timeline, introducing the project team. Over 700 community members provided input on their vision through surveys and focus groups. They want the library to have comfortable seating, technology, quiet spaces, natural light, and be welcoming to all ages. The draft program was presented, outlining spaces like the marketplace, discovery zone, and living room. It aims to create a "third place" for the community. Next steps are to refine the program and finalize the design, with an anticipated opening in late 2021.
