The new South Burlington Public Library is open!
The main floor living room, donor recognition wall and staircase leading up to the adult stacks and teen spaces and much more!
South Burlington residents long dreamed of a new library. When the city’s Tax Increment Finance district was formed in 2016, the possibility of creating a large, modern library became a reality. A bond issue, overwhelmingly approved by 73 percent of the voters in November 2018, funded the construction of the 180 Market Street building which opened officially July 23, 2021.
The city's new, energy-efficient, ADA compliant building in City Center which includes our public library, city hall services, and a senior center opened July 2021 to the great delight of the community. While the building is open, we continue to raise funds for more of the new things needed to make our library the best it can be.
The library is extraordinary and still can get better - join us!

"Public libraries are crucial centers of community activity, places where people from diverse backgrounds and with varied interests connect; public libraries are America at its best."
