Help Us Dream Big: Submit Your “Shooting Star” Ideas for a New Library

What would your dream library include? A cozy fireplace to curl up next to with a good book? Quiet reading rooms to unplug and unwind? Or maybe a convenient drive-up book drop for those busy days on the go?

At Livonia Public Library, we’re dreaming about the future—and we want YOU to dream with us.

As we plan for a future library building, we’re collecting “Shooting Star” ideas from the community. Think of it as your wish upon a star: What features, spaces, or experiences would make your library truly magical?

🗳️ Visit either the Bennett Civic Center or Sandburg Library to write down your ideas and drop them in our special ballot boxes—just look for the stars!
💻 Or share your ideas online using this form: surveymonkey.com/r/WRRW33V.

Whether it’s reading nooks, a children’s discovery room, tech spaces, or a rooftop garden—we want to hear it all. This is the time to share your voice and shape the future of your library.

🌟 Let your imagination soar. Your ideas might just become reality. 🌟
