Sherwood Renovation Enters Final Phase
Big things are happening at the Sherwood Branch Library. Renovations are in their final stretch, and we can’t wait to welcome you back later this summer or early fall.
With the Sherwood Pop-Up Library now closed, we’re focusing all our energy on getting the revitalized space ready to open. In the meantime, you can return items and place holds for pickup at any other Library location.
Sherwood Branch Library opened its doors in 1985, before moving to its current location in the Sherwood Forest Mall in 2005. Now, 40 years later, the space is being thoughtfully updated to better serve its community today and into the future.
We’re so excited to welcome you back to Sherwood soon, so you can enjoy this vibrant new space that the Sherwood community can feel proud of.
The branch has been intentionally redesigned to reflect the needs of this growing and diverse community, with dedicated areas to spark creativity, learning and collaboration. If you're coming to study, play, meet with others, or enjoy a quiet moment, you’ll find a space that feels just right for you.
To bring the space to life, we’ve chosen bright, playful designs and a layout that encourages discovery with dedicated spaces.

One of the first changes you’ll notice when you return to the space is a new, wide and welcoming entrance directly into the Mall. Visitors will no longer need to walk down a hallway to access the Library. Instead, you’ll step into a spacious, light-filled entryway that offers a full view of the Library from the moment you arrive.

“I can’t wait to relaunch our programming in the new spaces at Sherwood.” Shared Dayna Peebles, Sherwood Branch Supervisor. “And of course, I’m excited for the bright big windows which will fill the Library with sunlight! It’s going to feel much more welcoming and inviting, matching the energy of our vibrant community.”
We’ve poured our hearts into reimagining Sherwood, and we're so excited to share the refreshed space with our community.
We’ll be sharing more updates and photos as the renovation continues.
