I'll be glad to take this one; comments to follow in the next 1-5 days. Thanks in advance for your work on it! -- Khazar2 (talk) 00:16, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is an easy pass: good prose, reliable sourcing, no sign of neutrality or stability issues, images are appropriately captioned and tagged. The lead summarizes the contents well and I see no other MOS issues. Copyvio Detector shows no copyright problems, and I found none manually. No main aspects appear to be omitted, though perhaps the library's annual budget could be added. (This is presumably public record somewhere). I've made a few tinkering changes as I went; feel free to revert any with which you disagree.

Final result is Pass. -- Khazar2 (talk) 00:48, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Increased size is misleading[edit]

The article states (twice!) that the 2009-2011 renovation increased the size by 4300 square feet. This is misleading, because the renovation also closed the entire lower floor from public access. Thus the large meeting room, kitchen, restrooms, elevator, stairway & vestibule were all removed from public usage. Plus a large portion of the added space was used for staff offices, lunchroom, and work rooms. The result is that the library, since this renovation, has probably a net reduction in the actual public space available. We complained about this during the citizens advisory committee meetings, but the architect ignored us. T bonham (talk) 04:34, 9 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
