OMAHA CENTRAL LIBRARY
OPENING 4.19.26
This is your place
Across the globe, forward-thinking cities are re-centering their public library systems as hubs for creativity, collaboration, education, innovation, and workforce development.
Omaha Public Library’s Central Library will be one of the largest philanthropic commitments to a public library system in recent years. Opening on April 19, 2026, this world-class library is an investment in literacy, digital equity, community development, and individual potential.
The inclusive, accessible space is designed with all generations in mind; it will provide the information you want, services and programs you need, and the meeting and creative spaces you crave.
Find yourself in a book, a project, an idea. Find yourself thriving.
Find yourself here.
“A library is a focal point, a sacred place to a community; and its sacredness is its accessibility, its publicness. It’s everybody’s place.”
