In 1901, the Dublin Public Library opened at our current location.  On July 25, 2026 we are going to celebrate 125 years of service. 

Your local library is more than just books; it’s a vital community centerpiece for learning, discovery, and connection.
​
Explore you can help define how the library supports the needs of the community now.  We need a "few good patrons" to guide the library.

​Key Ways to Get Involved

✓ Design our next library

To keep our library better than ever, we have identified projects to further improve how we engage with the community.  We are looking for patrons to help shape these amenities. In April, we will be having "listening sessions" to define these in more detail.  Click here for a list of the proposed projects. ​
