Plans Underway for a New Glen Burnie Library Community Shares Vision for Modern, Inclusive Space at February Meeting Excitement is growing as plans move forward for a brand-new, state-of-the-art Glen Burnie Library. At a well-attended community meeting on February 27, library and project team staff gathered valuable input from residents about the future of the library. Over 1,000 people responded through surveys and participation in the event. The new library, which will be built on the site of the current Glen Burnie Library, will be a 40,000-square-foot modern community hub that includes a dedicated cultural resource center. During the meeting, community members had the opportunity to share ideas for the new library. Residents voiced a strong interest in a range of features, including an outdoor reading garden, work/study rooms, a community kitchen, flexible event spaces, a makerspace and a recording studio. These ideas reflect a clear vision for the project: create a dynamic, inclusive and accessible space that serves everyone. As one community member shared, the strength of the Glen Burnie community lies in its “diversity, inclusion and the acceptance of people’s differences.”The new library will embody these values and be a place where all belong. As plans move ahead, Anne Arundel County Public Library remains committed to incorporating the community’s feedback every step of the way. Stay up to date by visiting the library’s website at: aacpl.net/newglenburnie .
