Why does Otis need a new Library?

August 2025

A library is the glue that keeps a community together.

1. A library is not just about books and videos; it is the community gathering place for people of all ages.

2. A new Otis Library will offer after school programs and a safe place for young adults to gather.

3. A new Otis Library will include a makerspace where programs for children and adults are offered. Think of artwork, a place to learn to knit, sculpt, paint, woodworking, help with household repairs, the list is endless.

4. A new Otis Library will provide an accessible space where residents can gather, local groups can meet, artists can display their work, the community can enjoy creative programs like music and chorus, and everyone can access online services and digital resources.

5. A new Otis Library will be a big step forward in making Otis the vibrant community it once was, a place where young families will want to live.
