The city of Spring Hill, Tennessee, will build a $41.6 million public library after featuring it as one of its highest priority projects in the city’s latest Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). While approved, the project does not yet have a construction date.
The library project – currently in the design phase – will cover a minimum of 50,000 square feet. The finished product will replace the city’s current public library, which lacks sufficient space to serve the current population.
Planned components of the library will include a series of public areas, including restrooms and dedicated spaces for adults, teens, juveniles and children. The library will also host a local history room and media area.
Additional consideration will be given for various meeting spaces, including study rooms and a large meeting room with adequate storage. The city will also include a Messy Maker with storage, tech lab, entry and circulation desk and Friends of the Library Second Look Book Store.
To accommodate employees, the city will incorporate a break room and kitchen, storage rooms, a workroom, offices and staff restrooms. Other features will include a cafe lounge and outdoor space.
