Being aware library services will evolve and the demand for traditional and new services will continue to grow within the community, the Hackley Public Library commissioned library planner George Lawson, for a needs assessment and a follow-on building program that ultimately recommended a greatly expanded facility. Fishbeck completed a facility condition assessment, a feasibility study with estimates of construction costs, and commenced with the construction documents for the Youth Services area in spring 2012. Construction in this area was completed during summer. On the interior, major new attributes include repairing and refinishing existing plaster, improved lighting and communications, and re-design and relocation of the main circulation desk. The project also includes a modest addition that houses a new emergency exit stairway from the youth services area on the second floor.
