Westfield Washington Public Library & Township launch landscaping project

Plan to add outdoor event & program space by Summer 2026

The Westfield Washington Public Library (WWPL) and Westfield Washington Township (WWT) have officially kicked off a major landscaping project as part of the final phase of their building project.

Once complete, the outdoor activity space will feature two shaded structures, reading nooks, ADA-accessible tables, drinking fountains, several water features, and fresh landscaping.

“This outdoor space is the final piece of our new library’s plan,” WWPL Executive Director Sheryl Sollars said. “It will expand our programming possibilities in such exciting ways – from story times under the shade structures to family activities and summer learning events. And the best part is patrons can watch the progress through the library’s many windows and outdoor patios.”

The WWT office, located on the west side of the shared library building, is equally eager to see the new green space take shape.

“This open lawn area will give us a beautiful, flexible space for township and library events alike,” WWT Trustee Jamie Goetz Mills said. “It will be a place where residents of all ages can come together to learn, celebrate, and connect. We’re especially excited to use it for our summer camps and youth programs.”

The project was designed by Mader Design and will be executed by KD Landscaping. Construction is set to begin soon, with completion expected by the end of summer.
