With the pending completion of the new Kirkendall Public Library,  the next phase of the city's overall facilities plan can commence:  The remodeling of the existing library into the new Public Services Building.  This project is being designed by SVPA Architects and the final construction documents are completed so that the project can be ready for bidding.
