What’s in your library’s future? We’d love to hear your ideas.

Imagine the Des Moines Public Library in 2025. Help us understand what will change and how we can exceed your expectations!

The Des Moines Public Library is holding focus groups as a part of its strategic-planning process to learn about what you would like to see in the Des Moines Public Libraries in the future.

Do you live in Des Moines? Do you use any Des Moines Public Library services or attend Library
events? If so, then we need YOU! Check out the different groups and tell us what you think.

(If these forums aren't a perfect fit for you or your schedule, please know we will also be conducting an online survey, and we'd love to collect your thoughts as well!  Watch HERE
for further details coming soon!)
