The next step is to hold community-wide conversations as the library envisions a library system that is aligned with existing community strategies and resources to deliver high quality education, build strong communities and partnerships, and provide free access to information.
“We are excited to take this vision to the community for input and feedback as we create the 21st century library that allows us to respond to emerging community needs. We are looking to not only bridge the technology divide, but to create safe and welcoming spaces for children, teens, and the community,” said Andrew Chanse, executive director of Spokane Public Library.

We need a library system that meets people's evolving needs, a go-to place for families of all kinds,” said Anne Walter, Board of Trustee member.
