JEFFERSON COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY SEEKS COMMUNITY INPUT ON EVERGREEN LIBRARY REDESIGN

Jefferson County Public Library (JCPL) and EUA, an architecture, engineering, and design firm charged with redesigning the Evergreen Library, are co-hosting several community meetings to solicit input on the upcoming redesign of the Evergreen Library, planned for 2023.

Initial virtual meetings will be held:

• Wednesday, March 30, 2022, from 7 to 8:30 p.m.
• Thursday, March 31, 2022, from 10 to 11:30 a.m.
• Saturday, April 2, 2022, from 10 to 11:30 a.m.

Through this community engagement process, JCPL strives to involve the local community by offering a glimpse to what their library of the future could hold for the many different users. Innovations and new ideas will be presented to stir the imagination and used to inform the design team for future decisions. “We depend on the community to tell us what they’d like to see when we’re planning a library redesign,” said Donna Walker, executive director, JCPL. “We want to ensure that the library reflects the unique characteristics of the Evergreen community.”

Residents who are unable to attend the community meetings may offer input through April 3, 2022, via on online survey. There is also a survey specifically geared toward teenagers. Paper surveys will be available through the end of March 2022 at the Evergreen Library.
