After 5 public input meetings, a recommended design concept has emerged for the new Canby Public Library & City Hall. The first floor will feature a new library almost twice the size of our current facility, along with a council chamber/multipurpose community room. The second floor will hold city offices.
The adjacent plaza will provide outdoor seating & event space for library patrons and the community. Design development will continue over the next few months and we will post updates to the library website as they become available. The project is on schedule to start construction in Summer 2015, with an opening date in Summer 2016
