"The City of Campbell was awarded a $500,000 grant from Silicon Valley Clean Energy to build an all-electric facility after plans for the new library had already been approved. Modifying the plans to accommodate an all-electric system has pushed the library's grand opening, originally set for this winter, up by as much as a year. While this change added to the timeline as the grant was awarded after the building plans were developed,"
"Once open, the remodeled library will feature floor-to-ceiling windows, meeting rooms for public bookings, and a large community room with state-of-the-art technology, Roche wrote in an email. The children's room will feature a collection of new books and other materials, as well as the Dreamy Downtown early learning play space for children ages 0-10. Roche said the play space will be filled with the alphabet, sight words, numbers, interactive elements, an area dedicated to babies and prewalkers and other elements of Campbell that residents will recognize."
Campbell's library renovation timeline extended after the city received a $500,000 grant to convert the facility to an all-electric system. The retrofit of approved plans pushed the grand opening from this winter to an expected winter 2026 timeframe. Fully electric construction aims to reduce energy costs and deliver environmental benefits for residents. The remodeled library will include floor-to-ceiling windows, meeting rooms, a large community room with advanced technology, a children's room with the Dreamy Downtown early learning play space, dedicated teen and adult areas, available laptops and charging devices, and an upstairs Overlook overlooking the Orchard Green.
