Construction on the John and Judy Gay Library, located at 6861 Eldorado Parkway, is expected to begin in late spring 2018 with completion expected in summer 2019.

The library will be expanded and renovated with the $9.5 million in funding approved in the November 2015 bond election and additional funding approved by McKinney City Council.

In addition to the $9.5 million in bond funds, City Council also approved a $15,000 contract with Pogue Construction Co. during a July meeting for library renovations.

The McKinney Library Advisory Board is asking the public to provide input on the library’s expansion through an online survey found at www.mckinneytexas.org. The survey closes Nov. 7.

Increased traffic at the library is a testament to how important the library is to the community, McKinney Public Library Director Spencer Smith said in a release from the city.
