Preliminary Library Design Presentation

Architectural design work on the new Belleville Public Library and Community Center has begun. The public is invited to a presentation by FEH Design on the preliminary schematic design plans followed by a time for public comment and questions. The presentation will be held on Wednesday, April 25, at the current library at 130 S. Vine Street, from 6:00 p.m.–7:00 p.m.
“We encourage community members to offer their feedback early in the process,” said Library Director Bronna Lehmann. “Additional public comment sessions will be scheduled as the design progresses.”
The new facility will be located at the site of the former Landmark mill on S. Park Street, and the adjoining residential lot. The house on that lot is being relocated within the village.
Plans are for a 13,700-square foot library with a community room and additional meeting space available for community use during evenings and weekends when the library is closed. The goal is to provide a flexible, attractive library equipped to meet a wide range of uses from quiet, individual work to group projects and classes for all ages. Expanded space for children and teens will provide room for after school use and hands-on learning opportunities for all ages.
