The proposed new Seekonk Public Library will be a 23,000 SF building designed to meet the current and future needs of the community. With the onset of COVID-19, the mechanical systems will provide state-of-the-art air filtration and handling, and the furniture and fixtures will be adaptable to any necessary arrangement. Set on the same site as the prior library with access to the Seekonk Meadows behind, the new building will have clear sightlines and open spaces to provide a welcoming environment.
More than just books, the library will provide community programming such as local business assistance, job seeker help, senior services, events (including catering space) and a gallery. A second-floor outdoor patio provides an overlook of the park. Dedicated Children's and Young Adult rooms are specifically catered to the needs and development of those ages. The town of Seekonk has been working to provide its community with a new space for learning, growth, and engagement.
