Library to Install Glass 'Quiet Reading' Room

City officials are expected to approve a $34,000 project to install a glass-enclosed reading room at Dunedin Public Library.

Dunedin library is likely to get a glass-enclosed quiet reading room.

The roughly $34,000 project would mean installing several 5/8-inch glass panels with one entry door for an enclosed, "quiet reading room" inside the Dunedin Public Library, according to a city memo.

"The room will have a classic library feel with a 'hint' of the former Public Library that was once located at the current City Hall," writes Phyllis Gorshe, library director, in a memo to the city manager.
