Library Building Renovation
About the Library Renovation Project
The Town of Lynnfield has engaged Tappé Architects to plan a renovation of the current Lynnfield Public Library building, to address numerous issues with the current building.
The renovation will also enhance the current building by adding the following features:
- NEW study rooms and a Teen section
- NEW indoor programming space
- NEW meeting space for public use
- Bathrooms added to each floor, including one in the Children’s Room
- Make the building fully ADA Compliant
- Fix numerous maintenance issues, (electrical, roof leaks, etc.)
- Create additional storage space
This page will offer up-to-date information on the Library Renovation Project, to help educate the public on this project. Images of the plans are available throughout the Lynnfield Public Library.
