Construction Update

As of August 20, 2010:

Our parking lot opened last week, and everyone is thrilled!  It looks very nice, with all the trees and other plants.  The grass from the hydro seeding seems to be coming in nicely.  Great Oaks is still on site, watering and caring for the vegetation to give it a good start.

Visitor counts are still high, and people are enjoying all that the Library has to offer, including a successful musical program that was held on the beautiful patio this week.  Meeting rooms are well used, as are other resources, and we are still giving tours to show off this wonderful new facility.  There are so many more great things to come!  We welcome all the attention and look forward to doing all that we can to serve the community.

On February 21, 2008, architects from BEI and Diamond & Schmitt presented schematic designs for the new Novi Public Library to the Building Authority.  These updated floor plans show how the two story building is taking shape and the site plan shows its location to the property.
