Future Libraries: Redmond

Located in the heart of Redmond’s civic core near downtown and area schools, the Redmond Library serves as a dynamic community hub. The newly designed library provides twice the square footage of the previous library and offers substantial public meeting spaces including creative/DIY space, large multi-purpose meeting rooms, a vibrant children’s discovery area with a story time space, and a generous covered patio for all ages to enjoy.

The Redmond Library is now open (Hours & Events)

First Floor

On the first floor, large and divisible meeting spaces greatly increase the library’s capacity for events and programs, while a MakerSpace allows for hands-on activities and a dedicated area in which to plan and create. The vibrant children’s discovery area encourages interactive play and learning. The first floor also features a drive-up window where customers can drop off books and pick up holds. A civic patio on the south side of the building provides a welcoming space for the community to gather.

Art in the Library

Sage by John GradeSAGE

“Sage,” a large-scale art installation by John Grade, is suspended over the central stairway. The sculpture is inspired by the structure within the stem of the sagebrush that grows throughout Central Oregon. When viewed from above and below, the sculpture’s surface resembles aerial views of obsidian flows from the Newberry caldera.

West Wend by Bill HoppeWEST WENT

This 100” x 60” oil-oncanvas piece by Bend artist Bill Hoppe is located on the second floor near the adult collection. Transparency and atmospheric perspective are at the core of works by Hoppe.
