Each session will include a short presentation followed by time to explore design ideas and speak with the architects, library staff, and members of the Board of Trustees.

We’d love to hear from you—stop by and be part of the conversation!

February 27, 2026: We’re continuing to work on refining plans with the architects. You can check out the latest designs here in this PDF.

Again, nothing here is set in stone. We’ll have community meetings this spring to get more of your input. Until then, if you’ve got thoughts on the plans, please let us know by emailing expansion@drml.org

We also want to let you know that all this preliminary design work is being paid for through a gift from anonymous donor. We are so grateful for the support.

January 19, 2026: We have tentative plans to share! Below you will find images of the two potential expansion plans for our library; the potential interior design as well as the overlay of the current building so you can get oriented. Click on the images to make them larger.

It’s important to note that nothing here is final. We still have plenty of time to edit the design so that it will work the best for our whole community.

If you’ve got questions, comments or want to find out how to get more involved, please email expansion@drml.org
