Councilman Ann Margolin will host a community meeting at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, May 19 at the Preston Royal Library to discuss the library’s future home at Forest and Nuestra.
Last October, the city proposed that the library change location to the now vacant lot at Forest and Nuestra, formerly occupied by the abandoned Korean Young Nak Presbyterian Church. It was demolished several weeks ago to make way for the library.
The lot will allow for a larger facility, more computers, and a greater number of parking spaces. The library will also hold a LEED certification.
Along with these improvements, residents hope to promote a less-commercial design, so the building will assimilate into surrounding residential architecture. Such designs will be up for discussion at the Thursday night meeting.
