THE NEXT CHAPTER OF ACPL

BUILDING FOR TODAY AND TOMORROW

Your Allen County Public Library is excited to share its Facility Master Plan with its community of patrons, donors, and other stakeholders. We spent 2021 evaluating the condition of our buildings and asking what changes need to be made in order to support our mission of enriching the community through lifelong learning and discovery. We spent 2022 sharing our findings with the community and listening to your feedback. Learn more about ACPL’s recommendations for each location by reading the full plan.

THE NEXT CHAPTER OF ACPL

BUILDING FOR TODAY AND TOMORROW

Your Allen County Public Library is excited to share its Facilities Master Plan with its community of patrons, donors, and other stakeholders. Since 2021, the ACPL has evaluated its current facilities, conducted multiple focus groups, surveys, and open hearings, and developed a comprehensive plan that is a true reflection of the community’s needs. The Facilities Master Plan includes improvements at all locations funded by a combination of Library reserve funds and property tax bonds. The Board’s Capital Projects Committee has prioritized a Phase 1 of projects at locations whose current facilities are not sustainable due to age, size, or severe structural problems. The ACPL Board of Trustees's has voted to approach the Allen County Council with a request to be added to its November 13 agenda for review and vote for bond approval. Learn more about Phase 1, the full plan, and sign the plan below!
