Public Engagement Meeting

The Buffalo & Erie County Public Library is engaged in a Space Utilization Study of the Central Library to explore how future improvements can better meet the needs of Erie County Residents. We are seeking input from the public on proposed changes as outlined in the current Public Comment Draft (pdf).

The Library and architecture, planning, and design firm Bostwick Design Partnership are hosting a virtual Public Engagement Session on November 5, 2025 at 7:00 pm to provide an overview of the proposed changes and to allow space for members of the public to ask questions and provide feedback. You may join the Zoom livestream here on 11/5: https://tinyurl.com/CenBfloLiveMtg. We hope you can attend!

We also hope this session will be a jumping-off point for a continued dialogue with our patrons and the community at-large. We look forward to engaging with you in the months to come as we re-imagine the Central Library.
