After six years of planning and meeting with more than 6,500 community members, Deschutes Public Library put vision into action to provide outstanding library spaces and services for decades to come. A bond measure approved by Deschutes County voters in 2020 funded the design and construction of the 100,000-square-foot Central Library to serve all Deschutes County residents. Bond dollars also funded doubling the square footage of the Redmond Library as well as the renovation and updating of existing libraries in La Pine, Sisters, and Sunriver. The final bond project—remodeling and updating the Downtown Bend Library—will be complete in the summer of 2027.
