As Waterloo Public Library celebrates its 150th anniversary, we think it\u2019s the perfect moment to look ahead and imagine what\u2019s next.<\/p>\n
Back in 1966, the library moved from the Carnegie Library to what is now our current Main Library location. At the time, Waterloo was a city of 38,000 people, and the University of Waterloo was just nine years old. The building was expanded in 1988, but it hasn\u2019t had a major renovation since then. A lot has changed in our community over the years and today, our growing and evolving city needs a Main Library that reflects how we live, learn, and connect now.<\/p>\n
In partnership with the City of Waterloo, we\u2019re starting a feasibility study to explore what a revitalized Main Library could look like. This process will help us understand what\u2019s possible and, most importantly, what our community wants and needs.<\/p>\n
