With the redesign of the entry plaza to come into compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards, an opportunity became available to re-envision the entire outdoor entry of the downtown public library. Focus groups of community members, the Commission on Inclusion and Adaptive Living, and the Beautification and Public Art Commission (BPAC) gave input and responses for a ramp design that is universally inclusive, creates a donor recognition opportunity integrated into the art design, creates a porch for outdoor seating, and includes exhibition space for temporary art. 

Maria Salenger of Jones Studio was selected to conceptualize the art aspect, titled Touch home, reach sky, which reflects natural elements and includes 45 sculptural steel books that lead visitors to the front doors and reflect nature elements.
