Library

The library Trustees began their mission for a new library with a community survey to find out what library services the Epping residents and patrons needed. From a list of over a dozen proposals, the Trustees hired Lavallee Brensinger Architects to propose design options; including two addition and renovation concepts, as well as a new library option. After review of the cost implications of each option, and its return on the community’s investment, it was determined that a new library was the most cost-effective; in both up-front costs and future operational costs.

The new library design includes:

• ADA accessibility
• Community room for activities and meetings
• Small group rooms for social engagements and workspace
• Dedicated children’s space for arts and story hours
• Wireless technology
