Library Space Planning 2026

Thank you for your interest in the future of the NDL. On this page you will find helpful information about the Space Planning process in which the Board of Trustees is currently engaged, including the due diligence that has been undertaken by the Board over the past several years.

Please note that the Library Board has made no decision regarding the future of the Library's space.

If you have any questions about the documents on this website, or anything else regarding the NDL’s space needs, please use the form below and we will respond to you as soon as possible.

Patrons are always welcome to attend the meetings of the Library’s Board of Trustees, who typically meet on the 4th Thursday of each month at 7PM in the Carlo Meeting Room. Check the event calendar or the Board of Trustees page on our website for more information.

The documents below were either prepared by NDL staff or commissioned by the NDL from professional firms. The documents are educational in nature and should not be construed as formal plans. Financial costs associated with the various options are only estimates and are subject to change. All locations and options mentioned in the Space Feasibility Study are hypothetical. Any decision made by the Board of Trustees regarding the future of the Library's space will be made at a public meeting and shared with the community.
