The scenery could change for Eugene Public Library employett Mary kontny. The city council
may ask voters next spring to fund a new library site in the old Sears building.
Council mulls over new library
By Brian Bloch
Emerald Reporter
A proposal asking Eugene
area voters to help fund the cre
ation of a new library in the old
Sears building is likely to be on
the spring ballot.
The Eugene City Council will
decide late this month whether
to develop a funding proposal
for the renovation after evaluat
ing public support for the pro
ject
If the council decides enough
public support exists to warrant
the project, a bond measure
will most likely appear before
voters in the spring
Architects' drawings and
models of the proposed Sears
building library are at the Eu
gene Public library at 10th Ave
nue and Charnelton Street. City
councillors and library staff
held public forums about tin
proposed move throughout late
September and early this
month
Models of two proposed de
signs for the Sears site depict
buildings more than twice the
size of the current facility.
Designed by Kugene archi
toots Robertson Sherwood, who
will oversee the project, the
two plans differ only in that
one would provide under
ground parking and a three lev
el addition to tin? Sears build
ing
The other design has no pro
visions for underground park
ing and only a two-story addi
tion to the current strut tore
"These (models) an* what tile
library could he,” said archi
tect |im Robertson, who also
stressed the need to cater to
public input on the design
The first design, incorporat
ing about 00 underground
parking spaces, would be more
costly tint provide room for fu
ture expansion of the library.
Rotiertson said
Martha Rico, library board
chairwoman, said the existing
library "doesn't have the space
to provide ample service to Hu
gene."
Space problems with the ) 1 •
year-old building have forced
the library to store thousands of
1 looks in the basement, reduce
seating and utilize other facili
ties for public service pro
grams. Rice said
(liven ample public support
and funding, the new library
would span more than 100,000
square feet and offer room for
the 250.000 books. 700 maga
zine and newspaper subscrip
tions. recordings, video cas
settes. art and public serve e fa
cilities currently offered.
At .ill estimated cost of less
than $15 million, the proposed
renovation of the Sears build
ing is less expensive than the
estimated $15-1 million of up
dating the current facility, or
about $22 million at the pro
p o s e d B r o a d w a y a n d
(lharnelton Street site.
Options to build a branch of
the main library would not
solve "space problems for the
central collection." Rice said
