Space Needs Assessment

The library presented its 2022 space needs assessment at the 1/30/23 City Council Study Session

You can find a fully detailed 444 page collection of our history (PDF).

As a result of the space needs assessment, it was decided to have the library move forward with a comprehensive study of library facilities and services offered to the community with the goal to develop a master plan to help guide library services over the next 20 years.   

The library presented at a City Council Study Session on March 25, 2024 the overall details of the planned Request for Proposal for the library study. That meeting recording can be found online along with the presentation slides.
