Library Building Project
As the heart of our community, the San Juan Island Library has served as a center of knowledge and connection for generations. However, with the growing population, demands, and aspirations of our beloved island, the time has come to envision a bigger, brighter future for our library.
2025 Update Coming Soon! The Library Board has been working with professional consultants to assess whether the new site’s size and layout can accommodate the anticipated needs of the new library, as well as whether there would be sufficient space for other partnerships or plans, such as affordable housing, social services, or government services. A report from the consultants to the Library Board will be done at the August 12th Board Meeting. All are encouraged to attend this open meeting starting at 3pm.
A full timeline of past documents related to this project can be found at Library Building Project – Timeline & Documents.
