In May 2019, Meridian voters passed a plant facility levy measure for $14 million to renovate, expand, and modernize our library.
The levy will support new library branches in north and south Meridian. It will also pay for a major renovation of the main branch on Cherry Lane, which is over 20 years old. The first capital project, renovation of a building in downtown Meridian for the unBound business and tech library, was completed in 2021.
Construction on the north Meridian Orchard Park branch, our second capital project, began in 2021. The 15,000-square-foot library located at Linder Road and Chinden Boulevard was designed with an emphasis on accessibility and adaptability. Orchard Park is anticipated to be open early 2023.
Timelines reflect current estimates and will be adjusted as projects develop. Please check back here for updates!
