Building for the future:

In 2019, the Toledo Library enlisted HBM Architects and Interior Designers to develop a facilities master plan that examined its locations and provided a list of priorities and recommendations to help move TLCPL forward. This working plan was based on data collected during 2018 and continues to evolve based on the changing needs of the communities the Library serves. Below are key takeaways for the Reynolds Corners Branch.

A digital copy of the full 200-plus page facilities master plan is available upon request.

Branch overview (based on 2018 data)

Service population: 21,467 (5.03% of total service population)
Median age: 35
Households with children: 22.3%
Households: 9,838
Mean household income: $42,238
Population living below the poverty line: 26%
Gross square feet: 19,722 square feet
Year constructed: 1985, renovated in 2009
Collection size: 54,047 items
Programs: 216 in 2018
Meeting room size: 1,653 square feet
Meeting room capacity: 100 people

General Observations

  • The children’s area could use more identity at eye-level. Most of the identifiers are either at ceiling height or lower on the floor.
  • The circulation desk creates a barrier to the self-checkout area.
  • The self-checkout machines are slightly hidden on the backside of holds.
  • Can see through most of the space nicely; it is open and airy.
  • Consider an alternative arrangement that breaks up the stack area and provides opportunities for display.
  • Consider an alternate arrangement for public computers that gives users more space to spread out at stations. Also consider incorporating some two-person stations.
  • Good integration of materials and seating in the courtyard area. Consider applying this same idea to the rest of the collection.
  • Consider reconfiguring service points to create more distance between them and provide better oversight throughout the library.

In spring 2024, the Library sent a survey to the Lucas County community to learn what you love about your Library and how we could improve our buildings to better meet your needs. This is what 155 Reynolds Corners neighbors said they wanted in an updated space.

Originally part of the Lucas County Library System, the Branch opened in 1958 in a rented storefront. In July 1975, Reynolds Corners Branch moved to a 6,000-square-foot location in a strip mall storefront. Finally, in April 1985, the current 15,000-square-foot location opened. By 1998, the building needed a second entrance and additional parking. In 2009, the Branch received a silver distinction in the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) category.
