Future Planning at Madison Public Library

Upcoming Building or Remodeling Projects

Will there be a new Central Library? When will the South Madison Branch expansion occur?

Frequent stories covering library expansion have people asking us questions. Here's what we know about upcoming library expansion projects in the City of Madison.

The Library Board is in the process of updating Facilities Planning documents to direct the library's future growth. Below are some of the usage maps the Library Board is considering, and some of the library expansion projects currently in various stages of consideration.
