City of Mendon issued the following announcement on April 5.
The City of Logan is pleased to invite the public to attend the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Logan Library on Monday, April 18, 2022 at 11:30 am. The Library was founded on that date in 1916, making it the Library’s 106th “birthday.” The groundbreaking will be held on the plaza at City Hall, on the west side of the construction site. At the ceremony, Mayor Holly Daines will announce a significant lead gift and other generous contributions to kick off the fundraising campaign. Demolition of the former library began in February and sitework is underway. The construction budget was $16 Million. The donations will allow the city to add special features to enhance the library for the users. The new library will be on the same site as the former library. It will be a 35,000 square foot building on three floors with beautiful views of the mountains through stunning glass windows. There are outdoor terraces on both the north and south ends of the building. The main floor will feature a delightful children’s area and community meeting rooms available to the public. The second floor will have space for youth activities, and the third floor a quiet reading space for adults and a special collections area. By building vertically, there will also be space for an outdoor library plaza and additional parking (see attached elevations, and site plan and floor plans.) Construction of the new library is expected to take about sixteen months, and during that time the Library is housed in temporary quarters at the Logan City Service Center, located at 950 West 600 North Logan. Patrons can request materials online or by phone for curbside pickup, or take advantage of very limited browsing opportunities at that location. Story times and other outreach activities are also available at other locations. Please check the Library website for more information. The library was designed by Hacker Architects of Portland, OR, who specialize in library design, in partnership with local architectural firm Design West. The Construction Manager General Contractor is Hogan Construction.
