The Montgomery County Department of General Services’ Office of Planning and Development (OPD) and Montgomery County Public Libraries (MCPL) are exploring opportunities for the future of the Chevy Chase Library. In October, they will be presenting scenarios to the community and inviting feedback.
The library is located at 8005 Connecticut Ave. in Chevy Chase.
One scenario is a full-scale renovation of the existing 16,000-square-foot library. The second scenario might include a newly constructed 20,000-square-foot library achieved through a public-private partnership and a mixed-use project to include residential development to offset the cost of building a replacement library on site.
Informal sessions to allow the community to learn more about the scenarios, ask questions and provide feedback verbally and in writing are being held at the branch in October. Interested persons are invited to visit the Chevy Chase Library any time during the office hours below:
- Saturday, Oct. 16, 11 a.m.-2 p.m.
- Wednesday, Oct. 20. 3-6 p.m.
Information collected from the office hours, survey and comments received will be used to determine the next steps for the library.
