The Library Site Plan preserves the historic importance of this prominent site by locating a civic green and public plaza at the highpoint and entry to the Library. Several installations in remembrance of the Church, which once occupied the space, mark the importance of the site historically and provide an engaging entry feature into the plaza and civic green.
