Help Us Shape Family Spaces at Your Library

We're working on a plan to improve family spaces at 8 of our library locations, and we want to build it with you!

Tell us what your family needs. How can these spaces support connection, play, learning, and time together.

Your voice will help us create spaces that feel like they belong to everyone who comes in.

Thank you for sharing feedback!

This summer & fall we had hundreds of moments connecting with families! We heard from you at activities in our libraries, out in the community, and through the multilingual online survey. We’re looking at the results and will share updates with you soon.

How We'll Get There

  • Year 1: Connect with our community and staff. Review each library's family spaces to guide recommendations.
  • Year 2: Draft improvement plans with estimated budgets and timelines.
  • Years 3-5: Work with partners and vendors to make changes—big and small—to family spaces.
  • All Along: Listen, learn, and share where we are in the process.
