The extensive renovation included expanding the Children's Library with a new multi-purpose meeting room and a new circulation desk, adding more computer stations, improving patron flow and enhancing material display. Upstairs, the Adult circulation desk and offices were redesigned, a large computer center and Young Adult space were reconfigured and the restrooms were made ADA-compliant.

As stewards of the historic stone structure, the Library Foundation wanted the building maintained to ensure its continued performance as a beacon in the community. To that end, the stone was spot re-pointed and repaired, a new roof was installed, and storm windows were custom-made to increase the energy efficiency of the original wood windows, which were re-glazed and painted.
