New Building FAQs and Staff Scripts
- Q: What is going to happen to the "old" Library when you move to the new one?
A: The current building will be repurposed for recreational programming.
- Q: What is the parking going to be like in the new Library?
A: The new Library is the first amenity opening in the new Bell District, so we are going to be "growing with Bell" for the first couple of years.
When the new Library first opens there will be over 300 parking spots:
a temporary surface parking lot next to the Library (aka the Rectangle lot)
a semi-permanent surface parking lot off Aster (aka the Triangle lot)
permanent street parking through the Bell District
temporary street parking by the Farmers Market area
Within a few years: there will be a parking garage and on-street parking.
