The City of Gladstone has formed the Gladstone Library Blue Ribbon Committee (GLBRC) to help shape the future of the Old Library building.
This temporary advisory committee will guide redevelopment goals, evaluate community feedback, and recommend options for reuse of the site. If you’re passionate about Gladstone’s future and bring experience in planning, education, arts, finance, or local business, we encourage you to apply.
