Central Library Project at our August 27 Meeting. 7pm Redeemer Lutheran Church. 510 S 33rd St.

Our speakers will be Ryan Wieber, Library Director and Jodene Glaesemann, Assistant Library Director. They will present plans for the new Central Library, to be located at 1111 O Street in the renovated space previously occupied by Southeast Community College. This new library will replace Bennett Martin Public Library, 136 S. 14th St. which was built in 1962. It no longer meets modern library needs of space, accessibility, and function.

Ryan and Jodene will share the plans for renovation that will turn the space into a 21st century library. The new library is planned to support lifelong learning, creativity, and community connection. Construction will be completed in 2028.

Please join us for our August 27th meeting, 7pm at Redeemer Lutheran Church, 510 S. 33rd St.
