Del City broke ground on their new library. I believe they approved the project in 2012 and so the funds are there now. If you've ever been in the current one, it's nice but dang small. Upping to 16K sq ft will definintely help not make it so cramped and give them more room for all the activities they host.

I can't seem to find any good renderings of the place. There's a small image on the page above, but that's about it.

Yep, it should be a big improvement. My understanding is that the existing space will turn into a senior center or something like that once the library is done.
