to general smoke damage, the fire caused $1200 worth of damage to the door, floor, light fixtures. Staff and volunteers had to vacuum each individual book to make the collection once again customer-ready. As the community grew and new schools were opened with students needing more and more library resources, the need for a larger facility became evident and urgent. After some red-tape setbacks and construction halts, the new $100,000, 3100 ft² brick and glass Harry Pratt Library opened in February 1976 at 3219 S. 113 W. Avenue in Sand Springs—no longer called Prattville—complete with a lively red, white and blue decor and the much-demanded 50-person-capacity meeting room for community use. Book capacity increased from the 7500 at the old building to 15,000 in the new facility. In their "move 'em out!" campaign, librarians Joan McPherson and Billye Hopkins utilized a creative method for transferring the paperback books from the old trailer to the new building: they encouraged their customers to check out as many paperbacks as possible before February 12 and then return them to the new library after February 18, thereby eliminating the packing and unpacking procedure. As services expanded and the community continued to grow, yet another expansion became necessary. Therefore, in May 1991, Pratt Library closed for a $242,000 renovation and increase in size from 3100 to 5890 ft². The community meeting room was enlarged to hold 75 people, a new lobby was added to provide separate access to the library and meeting room, materials capacity was increased to 28,000 items, a new workroom was added for staff, a new bookdrop and book display area were made available to customers, the interior decor became serene teal, and the parking lot was expanded to hold 48 vehicles. Along with the upgrade in size and services, monthly statistics of materials circulation rose from the 5000 at the trailer to approximately 7500 in the new 1976 building to an average of 11,000 in the even larger 1991 building. Meeting room use also grew with such diversified groups as the WOW Stitch Group, Bruner Hill Garden Club, CHEF Literature Club, Happy Endings Book Club, and Oklahoma Driving School taking turns using the room. Unique to Pratt Library through the years was the Junior Friends of the Library, a group of elementary school students who met once a month for after-school fun with books and projects.
