EXPANSION & RENOVATION PROJECT

THE EXPANSION

The addition of a new wing added 8,800 square feet, effectively doubling the library space.

The new wing includes the youth area, teens area, adult craft lab area, a large meeting room seating 100 people, a parking lot, and large restrooms.

THE RENOVATION

With the renovation to our original building, we updated our HVAC and electrical systems, installed fire protection sprinklers, repainted, replaced carpet and tile, added comfortable seating in a quiet area, added one meeting room and two study rooms, increased our office space, and updated the restrooms, the staff break room, the circulation desk, and the entry doors.

New library complex – June 2024

 

We would like to express our deep gratitude to the patrons and the wonderful Wimberley community for their unwavering support that has enabled us to successfully complete our expansion and renovation projects. The Foundation’s achievements would not have been possible without your generosity and dedication.

ENJOYING THE NEW AREAS!
