The Re-Imagining Our Library initiative transformed the Salina Public Library’s Youth Services Department into a vibrant destination where children, teens, and families can read, play, create, learn, and grow.
Designed to better meet the evolving needs of our community, the renovation introduced dedicated spaces for every age group, a Youth Programming Room, a teen area, flexible meeting spaces, updated technology, a family restroom, a private nursing room, and inviting seating throughout. Construction began in January 2026, and after months of transformation, the newly reimagined space officially opened with a community celebration and ribbon cutting on July 17, 2026. This project was made possible through the generosity of our donors, the dedication of our steering committee, and the support of our community.
