Cedar Park’s new public library at the Bell District is under construction and expected to open to the public this fall, officials said.
Library Director Julia Mitschke said the new building—located at 425 Parkwest Drive, Cedar Park—will span 47,000 square feet, which is nearly twice as large as the current library at 25,500 square feet.
Intended to be a civic gathering space, the new facility will feature a courtyard space surrounded by dozens of large heritage trees with a fenced-in children's area, gathering spaces, group study rooms, an event space, an interior youth area, a teen area, two porches and a playground.
During a tour of the construction site, Mitschke provided Community Impact more information on the progress of the facility.
