KILLEEN, Texas (Dec. 2, 2025) – The Killeen Public Library invites residents to participate in two community town hall meetings during the second week of December to help guide the development of its new five-year strategic plan. Input gathered will help determine future services, programs, and investment priorities.
The first town hall is scheduled for Wednesday, Dec. 10, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Killeen Civic and Conference Center in the Lone Star Suite, located at 3601 South WS Young Drive. The second session will be held on Saturday, Dec. 13, from 10 to 11 a.m. at the New Bethel Christian Worship Center, located at 1301 North 8th Street.
Both meetings will be facilitated by Garrett Mason of Crucial Strategies, the consulting partner assisting the City in developing a long-term vision for library services. Mason will gather feedback from participants to ensure the plan reflects the needs of both current library users and residents who do not regularly engage with library resources.
“The Library belongs to the people of Killeen, and this process helps ensure we continue to evolve alongside the community,” Director of Library Services Deanna Frazee said. “Direct input from residents is essential to developing a strategic plan that supports growth, access, and innovation.”
The planning effort aims to prepare for population growth, expand access to resources, and enhance the Killeen Public Library's digital services. Community insights gathered during the town halls will be incorporated into the plan’s final recommendations.
