Building Project Update August 2021

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.

Coming October 22nd, 2025: The San Juan Island Library is hosting public meetings to gather input from the community about the Library’s new building project. The first meeting, scheduled for October 22nd at 12pm-2pm and again from 6pm-8pm, will present the current status of the new building project and collect feedback from the community about what needs and services they most desire from their library. Come prepared to learn about the New Building Project and ready to share your thoughts about what you want your library to be!
