Columbia County sought to create a new pedestrian friendly campus with a new library as the focal point. The library is located on a beautifully wooded site that provides views of a man-made lake, walking trails, and a new amphitheater. The library has several unique features in keeping with the county's vision of creating a community center. The facility includes a 300 person theater with fully functional staging, a cafe, a library bookstore and four computer classrooms to serve as remote learning facilities. The library features a children’s area, children’s program rooms, and the new materials collection. The lower level includes the services that are more research oriented and acoustically sensitive such as the adult computer area, the reference collection, adult fiction, the non-fiction collection, microfilm area, back-file periodicals, conference/study rooms, and the Columbia County history room.
