The campaign seeks to raise private funds to launch the construction of the new library at its current location at the corner of Witherspoon and Wiggins streets. The current facility was constructed in 1968. Originally designed to house 80,000 books, the library collection today includes 128,000 books and 11,000 audiovisual items. The expanded facility will double current capacity to more than 57,000 square feet. Construction of the new library is expected to begin in the middle of next year, with doors projected to open in spring 2003.
