At the regular library board meeting on August 18, 2009, the library board voted to accept the bid of Construction Planning and Management, Inc. (CPM) of Indianapolis, Indiana, to renovate the main library building. Over 50% of the money paid to subcontractors will go to local firms, thus keeping most of the library’s remodeling money in the community.
The library board is continuing to study how best to house the Outreach (bookmobile) Department and the Collection Management Department. No decision has been made regarding a building for these departments at this time.
During the renovation of the downtown building, the main library will be housed in the Columbian School building located at 1234 N. Courtland Avenue. The library is grateful to the Kokomo Center School Board for their partnership with the library in providing this facility. Many thousands of tax payer dollars have been saved by this partnership.
