BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The New Braunfels Public Library commissioned a plan to look at the future expansion of the public library on Common St. The plan projects the facility’s capacity and site needs for an ultimate expansion of the facility, should that occur. This report will be helpful for future bond program planning.
Until an expansion occurs, a reconfiguration of the current Library space will provide a more efficient use of the space for current programs and needs. Included in the 2022 proposed budget is a request for $54,840 to renovate the teen area, which is one of the first components of the space reconfiguration. Other components will be addressed as funding becomes available through the City, the Foundation or through the Library’s various trust funds.

Projecting the future needs for the public library main location facility.
