Library Facilities Plan

OPL, the Omaha Public Library Foundation, the City of Omaha, Do Space, Heritage Omaha, and the Omaha community are working together to develop a community-driven 2023 Library Facilities Plan. Join the conversation by participating in this effort and spreading the word to friends and neighbors. You can help determine a vision for your neighborhood library, your community, and Omaha’s future. Take the survey: Your voice matters! Complete a survey online or at your local branch by May 1 to share your vision for your library’s future.

Attend a community event: Family-friendly events featuring fun engagement activities will take place throughout the community this spring.
