PALM SPRINGS, CA – As the Palm Springs Public Library continues their renovation journey for the main library they would like to hear more from the community. A second online community survey, as a follow-up to the one completed in the Fall, has launched today to help the Library further understand the wants and needs of our community. The survey is now available at: www.surveyhero.com/c/PSLSurveyRound2 or it can be accessed on the Library’s website at www.palmspringslibrary.org.

However, if you don’t have access to a computer, paper copies of the survey will be available at the Library, City Hall, Demuth Community Center, Parks & Recreation Leisure Center, and at James O. Jessie Desert Highland Unity Center until April 12^th, in both English and Spanish. 

The public is also invited and encouraged to attend one of the in-person community input meetings scheduled:

• Thursday, March 21 at the Demuth Community Center, 3601 E. Mesquite Ave, Palm Springs, CA 92264 at 5 – 7 PM with opening remarks from Mayor Bernstein
• Friday, March 22 at James O. Jessie Desert Highland Unity Center, 480 Tramview Rd, Palm Springs, CA 92262 at 5 – 7 PM with opening remarks from Councilmember Garner

• Wednesday, March 27 at the Palm Springs Public Library, 300 S. Sunrise Way in the Learning Center Community Room at 5:30 – 7:30 PM with opening remarks from Mayor Pro Tem deHarte

At each of these meetings input will be gathered and a presentation will be shared about the progress of the project to date and to discuss next steps.  Bilingual staff will be present at each location and the architects from Group 4 Architecture, Research + Planning, Inc. will also be present at several of the meetings to answer questions, take feedback, and share information.

This work is part of an infrastructure renovation matching-grant awarded to the Library from the State Library and that the City Council accepted approved to move forward. Group 4 Architecture, Research + Planning, Inc. was selected after a thorough RFP process and they are leading the Library through this process.
