The study is slated to be completed March 16. If the report shows relocating the library to the Academy is feasible, the BYAF is expected to ask library board members for their support The next step would be to get the support of city officials to put the matter up before Provo residents in a bond election. The amount of the bond voters would be asked to approve would be roughly, the same as the cost of expanding the building where the library is current housed at 351 W. Center Street Any additional costs for the move and renovation of the Education Building and possibly College Hall would be raised by the BYAF from private donors.
