According to the LA Times on June 1st the library will close for a $5.7 million renovation in order to qualify for certification under the LEED rating system - the Leadership in Environmental and Energy Design system developed by the US Green Building council.
The renovation will last until September 2011 and will be the first project in the city to meet the standards for sustainable design, construction and operation. HOWEVER! Do not panic! Library services will still be available through the internet and by a book mobile parked just outside the library.
In addition to the green renovations, there will be an new feature – an outdoor reading area and patio connected to Legacy Park. Approximately $5.2 million for the project was provided by the council from the library’s fees while the rest is to be raised by the Library Task Force.
Definitely exciting news for Malibu, the community and the Library!
