Milestone! 24,000 sf Library is OPEN

Your library is open!  Construction is finished!  Come visit us today!
(can you tell we are super excited?)

There is an amazing new space waiting for you - your Homer Township Public Library has self-funded a wonderful addition and remodel of existing space.  The new 24,000 sf library boasts automatic entry doors, bold colors, unique lighting, tons of natural light, 6 private study rooms, 24 public computers, a quiet reading room with fireplace and study tables, a family activity room and sunroom - both adjacent to the youth area, a copy center, more seating, additional parking, family restrooms, a teen room and specific junior area, and more!

We have created several community areas - enjoy a conversation in the table area looking out onto 151st Street.  Read a magazine or newspaper in the library's "living room".  Sit with your children in the diner booth areas. Appreciate the quiet in the Heroes quiet reading room. Enjoy working next to your child at the family computer area.  Watch the sports activity from the sunroom. Work with friends in a private study room or in the family activity room. We listened to our community and brought forward what residents asked for along with some special areas that we know you will love.

Outside covered benches and seating anchor a lovely garden bed.  More plantings and flower beds will continue to be placed around the building as the site work continues, along with a ring road and staff parking on the east side of the building.

More for you than ever before @ Homer Library!
