WE HEARD YOU!
At our last Community Meeting in February 2025, you shared your thoughts and ideas and voted for the features that matter most to you in the new West Frederick Library. For those who couldn’t attend in person, we offered a digital option so every voice could be heard. Thanks to the enthusiastic participation of the community, including a large number of students, we have a vision of what matters most to the community. Here are the results:

Your top 3 priorities for design features:

  • Children’s Activity Area
  • Exterior Reading Garden
  • Computer Area

Your top 3 wants for design features:

  • Large meeting space
  • Smaller study spaces
  • Teen gaming area

We also learned that what you love the most about your community are the people themselves, particularly the diversity represented.

A cloud of words with the most prominent being Diverse, Unique, Supportive, People, Art, Natural, Walkable, Save, Unique
