The Cochrane Public Library has outgrown its current building and is planning for the future!

Your voice in every chapter is a high-impact project that will help us understand local needs and opportunities for local library services and community spaces that will shape them for decades to come.

The Cochrane Library has been the setting for countless personal and collective stories in our community. We want to understand how library services have been a part of different chapters of your life – a quiet refuge, a gathering place, a zone to discover new interests. How can this community space and it's services serve you and the community long into the future?

Phase 1 has now concluded, stay tuned for the What We Heard Report out this Fall 2025. Next phases of this engagement will be updated over the coming months with opportunities for further engagement.

    Your voice in every chapter - Help us write the story

    The Cochrane Public Library and Town of Cochrane are conducting a facility needs assessment. This work will inform the design of a new multi-purpose library building where kids can explore, seniors can connect, and everyone in between can learn, share and grow.   

    Over the last 75 years, the Cochrane Public Library has served as a setting and supporting character in our community’s personal and collective stories. As we celebrate a milestone anniversary for our current building, we are also preparing for the future!  

    We are in the early stages of planning new community spaces for Cochrane, including a Public Library. Over the next year, Your Voice in Every Chapter will explore how community spaces, partnerships, and services can be brought together to meet the evolving needs of our community.  

    The results of this survey will inform the features, services and community spaces in your future multi-purpose library building. It will take about 7-10 minutes to complete and will be available until August 24, 2025. Your responses are confidential and will be used only for the purposes described above.
