Additions to the building <br />were sited to minimize impact on the trees <br />while framing views to the surrounding <br />landscape. Field Paoli worked closely with a <br />citizens committee and city staff to develop <br />a plan which expanded the library from <br />18,000 to 50,000 square feet while preserving <br />the character of the existing building and <br />enhancing the programs and services offered at <br />the library. <br /> <br />The resulting building features distinct wings <br />for adults and children that are separated by a <br />daylit lobby/gallery that leads to a small cafe <br />and outdoor courtyard. A fireplace reading <br />room was added to promote a sense of warmth <br />and community. <br /> <br />Funding for this expansion project came from <br />a local bond measure and active community <br />fundraising. <br /> <br />CITY OF PLEASANTON Predevelopment Consultant Services for Pleasanton Public Library 19 <br /> <br />,,~~ <br />I <br />Ilom:U <br />
