Construction of the new Sorensen Library is underway at Sorensen Park in Whittier.

WEST WHITTIER – Construction is now under way at a new library that will go in Sorensen Park.

The former library has been torn down. The new 10,655-square-foot Sorensen Library is expected to be completed by the summer of 2010, said Los Angeles County library officials.

PW Construction of Glendora has the $4.7 million contract.

The former library, 11405 E. Rose Hedge Drive, Whittier, was only 1,045 square feet and one of the smallest libraries in the county.

The new library will have public restrooms, 40 additional parking spaces, and a meeting room that can accommodate up to 60 people. It also will have seating for 67 patrons, 23 public-access computers and a separate children’s section.
