East Asheville Library fans are eager for a construction update, and Buncombe County aims to please. While construction on the new facility is moving along and on schedule, there are still some important steps to go before the final page is turned on this project.
New furniture, IT, and audio visual needs are being assessed, ordered, and installed. All circulation materials will have to be moved back in and arranged. The playground equipment will be installed and will serve as a National Demonstration Site by PlayCore’s Center for Outreach, Research, and Education (CORE) for data collection to highlight best practices and outcomes achieved. And, a final LEED inspection will still have to be scheduled before we can welcome our East Asheville family back into the building.
Buncombe County hopes the following photo gallery will inspire imagination and future visits.
The library staff can’t wait to start this chapter at the new facility and welcome you back safely.
