Last year, we took you inside the former Hills Building, 906-910 W. Mitchell St., which is being converted into a mixed-use development that will include residential units and a new Milwaukee Public Library, to replace the Forest Home Library a bit further west at 1432 W. Forest Home Ave.

Recently, the library released this architect's rendering of what the interior of the library could look like.

I requested more images, but was told that more are forthcoming, but not yet available.

HGA Architects is designing the new library space on the ground floor of the building, which was originally home to a department store.

This week, MPL will host a community meeting about the project.

On Wednesday, July 20, from 6 to 8 p.m. MPL staff and HGA will discuss design concepts for the library. Word is that Mayor Tom Barrett and Ald. Jose Perez will be on hand at the meeting, which will be held at the Gerald L. Ignace Indian Health Center, 930 W. Mitchell St.
