With the addition of 2,700 square feet, the renovated Donaldsonville library will be 15,350 total square feet and feature technology and tools to promote creativity and STEAM-based learning. A new audiovisual recording studio and virtual reality room will allow users to record podcasts, songs, and create videos using a green screen. A makerspace will offer digital design software, 3-D printers, and a laser cutter.

The library will also have an expanded children's area, a new dedicated teen space, and a new collection centered on the African American experience; The Jeannette Jefferson Collection, a collection to reflect the history, culture, and interests of African Americans.
Renovations will also include a professionally curated historical display to tell the story of the City of Donaldsonville.
The renovation is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2024.
