Help Shape the Future of IPDPL - Washburn

We need your feedback!

Illinois Prairie is planning exciting improvements to the Washburn branch, and we need your input!  Join us for a community input session where architects from Dewberry will discuss potential renovation plans.  After a brief presentation, participate in interactive activities to share your ideas and help shape the future of the Washburn branch.  This is your chance to ask questions and contribute to creating a space that meets the needs of our community.

The session will last about an hour, and light refreshments will be provided.  We look forward to hearing from you — don’t miss this opportunity to make your voice heard!
