The $18 million library was planned in conjunction with the construction of a new Burien City Hall, at Burien Town Center. The joint development allowed the entities to share costs of construction, taxes and consultant fees.
The new library includes more materials, computers, space for children and teens and community meeting space, some of which is shared with the city.
