Planning for the Future
Deschutes County experienced immense growth in the last 20 years, and is estimated to swell to nearly 215,000 people in 2020. Ensuring that residents have continued access to the robust selection of materials and resources they’ve come to expect is a top priority of Deschutes Public Library. Help us prepare for a dynamic next chapter by taking part in upcoming interactive discussions with the library’s architects to learn more about the renovation, expansion, and enhancement plans for your libraries. We're hosting sessions throughout the county.
