Plans for a 拢1.3m library improvement will go on display later this month.
Staffordshire County Council plans to redesign the ground floor of the building in Burton upon Trent, as well as create a 30-seat mini-theatre and an area for children.
It said it wanted the library to be "flexible and multi-use".
The local authority also promised to use sustainable or recycled materials where possible, including reused or recycled furniture.
A series of drop-in events to explain the plans are due to take place at the library and will begin next Wednesday.
The council was able to get 拢265,000 from the government鈥檚 Libraries Improvement Fund to help it pay for the work.
The redevelopment follows similar investment at libraries in Lichfield, Tamworth, Stafford and Newcastle-under-Lyme.
The councillor responsible for communities and culture, Victoria Wilson, said the drop-in events would allow the local authority to get feedback.
She said she wanted to "reflect the wishes of the community and have worked these into the overall plans".
