Library presenters said the rebuilt Humboldt Library will include a digital media lab, a recording studio, community rooms, quiet study areas, a cafe and a dedicated teen space, and that construction is expected to take about two years. A temporary location will open at 6660 Security Boulevard, unofficially called "Woodlawn Mini."

"Our libraries are so much more than just a place to read and borrow books. This new Humboldt Library will not simply hold books. It will hold opportunity and endless possibilities," Library staff member 1, a library staff member, said. "From a digital media lab and a brand new recording studio to new community rooms, quiet study areas, a new cafe where entrepreneurs can bring their visions to reality. It will have a dedicated space on the lower level just for teens."

Presenters said the building design emphasizes daylighting. "The entire building will be filled with windows and skylights bringing daylight into the heart of the building," Library staff member 1 said. They described the construction timeline as "about 2 years" and said the agency will open a nearby temporary location during construction at the address given in the presentation.

One presenter described a personal connection to the site: "Today is a bittersweet moment for me ... I grew up about 2, 3 miles away from you, and this was my library," Library staff member 2, a library staff member, said, adding that nostalgia does not replace modern needs. Other presenters said the upgraded space is intended to serve a growing and dynamic community and to encourage repeat visits by offering expanded services.

The presenters used the informal name "Woodlawn Mini" for the temporary site at 6660 Security Boulevard; they characterized that location as a short-term option while the main building is rebuilt. No funding sources, formal approvals, contract details, or specific construction milestones were provided in the transcript excerpt.

Construction timing, the temporary location address, lists of new program spaces and the project's emphasis on daylighting were discussed during the presentation; no motions or formal decisions were recorded in the provided transcript excerpt.
