The only thing that never changes is that
everything changes…a truth that we at DPL embrace! We’ve changed a lot over the past couple of
years and there may be more coming, but it’s all in an effort to better serve our
patrons. We are always looking for ways
to improve.
The Library building belongs to the city of
Decatur and we must get written permission before making any changes to that
building. Recently, we asked
the City Council for their consent to make a few changes to our building. These ideas involve opening up our 6th
Avenue entrance by removing the brick wall; moving our historical and
genealogical collections from the Alabama Room downstairs to the main level so
they are easier to get to for our patrons; and
replacing or repurposing our outdated and damaged display cases. As the
City Council approved these ideas, we can now move forward with exploring our
options to find the best way to handle each of these projects.
None of these changes have been decided on, nor are they in progress. Decatur Public
Library strives to provide the best service possible for all of our patrons. The proposed changes are being considered because we feel they will make the
library easier on our patrons and more inviting. If you have any questions, please feel free
to speak with the Marketing & Outreach department.
Thanks so much!
