Cost to renovate a vacant building is about 80% of the cost to build new space, and U-City may only allow a lease, not a permanent home for the library. The location of Sprague and Herald is across the street from U-City, only a mile from Spokane Valley Library, so the library would stay in a central location in the Valley. Spokane County Library District already has a library along the Argonne/Mullan corridor. The Library District would like to keep library services as evenly distributed throughout the community as possible. Check out our complete info on the bond projects here.

Seems like a perfect location with ample parking and good access, 2) what about the building at Sprague & Argonne as US bank will soon be relocating. Thanks.

It is our intention to provide lighting that will provide safe use of the walkways and the park while protecting the night sky. When we begin the design of the building we will incorporate best practices for a sustainable, energy-efficient building. This includes using local materials when possible and following current design standards for sustainable buildings.

I was unable to attend the Q&A sessions last year, but I’m curious about how/if the plans incorporate progressive ideas related to sustainability (water and electricity conservation), light pollution (park lighting that focuses the light downward instead of up), and green materials and energy conservation concepts for the library building itself?
Thank you!

The remodel you’re referring to was actually a reconfiguration of the service desk, which addressed inefficiencies and outdated processes related to work flow at the Spokane Valley Library. This reconfiguration was limited, as it was required to addresses safety issues with the worn carpeting in the high traffic area of the library.

The bond proposal includes funding for a new library on Conklin Road in Greenacres. Next month, we will be sharing information on that library. You can read more about our bond proposal by going to http://www.scld.org/about/2014-bond/

Is there a problem with the current building, parking? Next door to Planned Parenthood office? Why not build/open a another branch? I live in Greenacres, about equidistant between the current Valley branch and Otis Orchards branch. I also use the Liberty Lake City library.
