Capital Project Information

On Nov. 3, 1998, Seattle voters overwhelmingly approved the $196.4 million “Libraries for All” bond measure to upgrade The Seattle Public Library with new facilities, technology, and books. The bond measure, which can be used only for construction of libraries, is funding a new central library and new and improved branches. For information about individual branch projects, see Neighborhood Branches.

This page provides key contacts, timelines, Library Board decisions and links to the original “Libraries for All” capital plan.
