Capital Project Information
On Nov. 3, 1998, Seattle voters overwhelmingly approved the $196.4 million “Libraries for All” bond measure to upgrade The Seattle Public Library with new facilities, technology, and books. The bond measure, which could be used only for construction of libraries, funded a new central library and new and improved branches.
This page provides key contacts, timelines, Library Board decisions and links to the original “Libraries for All” capital plan.
