SV library proposal is ready for viewing

The preliminary concepts for Scotts Valley’s 13,000-square-foot library will be unveiled at the Dec. 16 City Council meeting.
The concepts are the first draft proposal for the future library’s interior and exterior, as completed by San Francisco-based Group 4, the primary architect.
“It’s not a blueprint, but it will be highly specific, with detailed costs,” said Scotts Valley Vice Mayor Jim Reed. “The intent is for something concrete and specific that the council and community can react to.”
Reed and Mayor Randy Johnson recently visited libraries in nearby areas, including Milpitas and San Leandro, to scope out other work done by Group 4.
“We walked through and saw things we really liked and really didn’t like,” Reed said. “Overall, it helped inform our perspective and give guidance to the architects. We’re really excited to see what they came up with.”
