New Cedar Park Public Library

As the most frequently visited Cedar Park public facility and a vital community space, the Library will be designed with the community's unique needs in mind. The new Library facility could include:

• Additional program space
• Classrooms and conference rooms
• Quiet spaces
• New technology
• Capacity for more materials
• Increased parking capacity

Plus, the Library will have dedicated outdoor space, providing new avenues for Library programming nestled in a natural setting.

• The Cedar Park Public Library will be relocated to a new facility that will be included as part of the Bell District.
• The new Library will be 60% larger than the existing Library.

• Planning and development of the new Library are now underway. The design process kicked off in January 2021, with renowned Lake | Flato Architects, Inc., with public engagement to help capture your creative aspirations and ideas.
• In the online community survey in February 2021, we invited the community to tell us what excites you most and help us envision the possibilities of what this new Library could offer the community.
