Project Goals

materials.
• Maintain Randall Library’s historic charm, while also functioning
in a way that more effectively serves our modern needs.
• Use existing square footage more efficiently, to better
accommodate our materials and resources in a way that best
suits the needs of patrons.
• Create new entrances—more accessible and safer for patrons to
access.
• Offer bright, inviting, and useful spaces for programs, learning,
and collaboration, accommodating user needs of all ages.
