Library Trustees select architectural firm for a 21st Century Library
The Dripping Springs Community Library Board of Trustees awarded a contract to PGAL and 720 Design, two architectural firms working together that have done significant work with libraries in Texas and nationally. They guided the library through highly attended community input meetings and a community-wide survey. 720 Design, an interior design and planning firm dedicated to the development of modern library spaces, has delivered plans for initial programming and interior layout that reflect the community’s input.
New Library Location Secured
The new library will be located at the end of Benney Lane, a cul-de-sac off Mighty Tiger Trail. This is adjacent to the library’s existing property. The new property will allow the library to expand its overall footprint to 5.5 acres.
