Potential Plans for the Future of the
Bartlett Public Library District Building
Throughout 2025, the library engaged our community through surveys and presentations to gather feedback on improvements and funding options the community supports to improve our aging facilities.
Based on the feedback we received, the community's top choice for addressing these needs is a $16.3 million renovation and expansion plan to the current library. The second choice was a new library for $32.5 million.
The Library Board of Trustees is considering placing a referendum on the November 3, 2026 ballot to seek funding approval from the community and will make the final decision on a potential referendum in August of 2026. In the meantime, the library is holding five more community engagement meetings this spring to share drawings and renderings of two potential projects one for additions/renovations to the current library and one for a new library and seek additional feedback from the public.
