Williamsburg Library needs replacement: too small, poor design, failing systems.

A recent commentary supported by the library director argues the Williamsburg Regional Library building is outmoded and requires replacement. Issues cited include inadequate parking, failure to meet current accessibility standards, and an irregular layout causing navigation difficulties and security concerns. The building also lacks sufficient space for programs and books, has cramped staff offices, and its infrastructure, including HVAC, plumbing, and roof, is outdated and in disrepair. The commentary contends the library is too small to optimally serve the growing community.
