Prosper library plan shows need for space Prosper Town Council members reviewed the library’s master plan, a multi-volume document assessing the Prosper Community Library’s current and future needs, during a Jan. 15 meeting. No action was taken. The breakdown The master plan took a holistic look at the library’s offerings, spacing needs, community engagement and more. At just under 10,000 square feet, the library is one of the smallest in the state for a community of Prosper’s size, Library Services Director Gary Landeck said. The master plan did include two suggestions for the library, both of which would need resident-ap- proved bond funding and involve building a space that would more than quadruple the facility’s existing size.
