Overview
The historic campus has witnessed generations of our community – memories have been created, educational pathways formed, and futures forged. Its purpose, then and now, focuses on opportunities for all. Abilene Heritage Square will serve as a multipurpose hub for lifelong learning, art and cultural attractions, and innovative activities and programming. It will enhance the lives of residents throughout the region and encourage further growth and development.
At Abilene Heritage Square, the library occupies three floors. The first floor includes adult fiction, local history, a teen space, study rooms, a podcast/recording studio, and a Maker space. The second floor houses spaces for children and families and will contains the children’s collection. The third floor features group study rooms as well as the adult nonfiction collection and reference materials.
