WALLA WALLA – The Walla Walla Public Library and SHKS Architects will host an open house tomorrow (Saturday) from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. to share the proposed library expansion plans with the community.

Starting at 10:30 a.m., following a violin concert and light refreshments, SHKS Architects will present an overview of preliminary plans to rebuild and expand the 52-year-old library building.

At 11:30 a.m., children and families are invited to decorate a building block for the library’s Blockville family-building project in the kids’ area of the library. A city building inspector will be on hand to help kids learn about the building design approval process.

Architects and library administrators will gather community input and answer questions during the open house portion of the event from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. All Walla Walla community members and library patrons are invited to attend this event and provide their feedback.

The Walla Walla Public Library is located at 238 East Alder Street.
