BACKGROUND
Sacramento Public Library is closer to realizing the goal of building a new library in Orangevale. The
current library occupies space in a small shopping center on the south side of Greenback Lane, just
west of Hazel Avenue and east of Beech Avenue. A parcel for the new library site will be leased
from the Orangevale Recreation and Park District, which is located on the 6800 block of Hazel
Avenue. The building will be owned by Sacramento County.
ORANGEVALE LIBRARY
Sacramento County set aside $750,000 in its Capital Improvement Program Budget to begin the
conceptual design phase for the new Orangevale Library. In 2015, the Library completed the
community needs assessment, plan of service and the building program. The County contracted
with Group 4 Architecture, Research and Planning, Inc. to begin conceptual design documents. A
working team made up of members from Sacramento County, Group 4 Architecture and the Library
continues to work together to complete the planning phase for the new library.
In December 2015 and January 2016, community members were invited to review, discuss and
vote on one of two architectural concepts for the new Orangevale Library. A notice also was placed
on the Sacramento Public Library website to encourage broad community participation in the
process.
Full funding for the Orangevale Library construction is not anticipated before fiscal year 2018-19.

Preferred Conceptual Option
•
Beautiful fit – embodies the community’s
design values, enhances the natural
landscape, and fits into the community
center campus
•
Adaptable over time – open and flexible
floor plan can be arranged and
rearranged over time as library and
patron needs evolve and provides better
opportunities to meet the FOL
refinements
•
Timeless – simple, bold form is timeless
•
Constructible and cost effective – simple
roof form lends itself to ease of
construction and maintenance
