We are planning to make improvements at our Oroville and Bridgeport libraries and would like your input!
NCW Libraries will host Town Hall meetings in both communities this month to share information about the upcoming improvements and to gather feedback and ideas about potential changes.
Oroville Town Hall
Wednesday, Oct. 23, from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Oroville Public Library, 1276 Main Street in Oroville
The event is free and open to all community members, including all ages. Library Forward, a national recognized design firm specializing in libraries, will share a short presentation about the potential for the Oroville Library to spark ideas. Participants will have an opportunity to explore design concepts and vote on the design elements they’d like to see at the Oroville Library.
Representatives from the library and the design team will also be soliciting input and answering questions later in the day from 3:00-4:30 pm at a pop-up kiosk outside the Oroville Frontier Foods.
For those unable to attend the town hall or events, feedback can be provided via an online survey at www.ncwlibraries.org/oroville/. Paper copies of the survey are available at the Oroville Library in English and Spanish

The community engagement events are part of NCW Libraries Reimagining Spaces project, a multi-year interior redesign effort at all NCW Libraries branches throughout the five-county system. Library Forward and Forte Architects of Wenatchee have been hired by NCW Libraries to lead community engagement efforts and develop interior design plans. Oroville will be the ninth library branch to begin its redesign.
Design plans for the new interior spaces of both libraries will begin in early 2025. The goal is to complete the addition and space redesign in early 2026.
