Prosper adopts Library Master Plan, looks to larger facility
Public library square footage per capita
The town of Prosper has a new roadmap to guide the future of its Community Library. Prosper Town Council members adopted a Library Master Plan during a March 11 meeting. The plan outlines a strategic vision for the library’s evolution by addressing the town’s rapid community growth, the current facility’s offerings and any future demands, according to the plan. It does not allocate funding for any specific projects but does make multiple recommendations for town officials to plan for in the future. Zooming in Council members last discussed the plan during a Jan. 14 meeting. The final version adopted on March 11 reflects their recommendations, includ- ing a request to look into other sizing options for a future library facility, Library Director Gary Landeck said. The three sizing options presented were:
• Option No. 1: Build a 72,000-square-foot facility that meets Prosper’s buildout requirements • Option No. 2: Build a 50,000-square-foot-facility with phased expansion • Option No. 3: Build a 33,000-square-foot facility with phased expansion Members of Prosper’s Library Board on March 4 unanimously recommended council adopt the master plan and concluded that a 49,000-square- foot facility is the absolute minimum size the town should consider, according to meeting documents. No final decision on the size of a future facility has been made. What comes next? Long range planning for the library will likely take place over the next year, according to a meeting presentation. The proposed facility will be part of the town’s bond committee discussions ahead of the November 2025 bond election.
