Building for the future:

In 2019, the Toledo Library enlisted HBM Architects and Interior Designers to develop a facilities master plan that examined its locations and provided a list of priorities and recommendations to help move TLCPL forward. This working plan was based on data collected during 2018 and continues to evolve based on the changing needs of the communities the Library serves. Below are key takeaways for the Heatherdowns Branch.

A digital copy of the full 200-plus page facilities master plan is available upon request.

Branch overview (based on 2018 data)

Service population: 43,896 (10.3% of total service population)
Median age: 39.5
Households with children: 26.5%
Households: 20,478
Mean household income: $51,807
Population living below the poverty line: 16.4%
Gross square feet: 19,286 square feet
Year constructed: 1968, expanded in 1991
Collection size: 65,392 items
Programs: 89 in 2018
Meeting room size: 1,576 square feet
Meeting room capacity: 100 people

General Observations

  • There is plenty of space here to do great things.
  • There is a lot of under-utilized floor space in public areas.
  • There is a low ceiling at entry with study rooms to the right, the circulation desk to the left, and everything else feels far away.
  • There should be something that excites you when you walk in.
  • There is a lack of signage and a lack of display near the entry.
  • Old formal study carrels are currently used for face-out materials display.
  • The new face-out materials displays are nice and give a good retail vibe, but overall, displays are minimal.
  • There could be better use of areas with natural light.
  • It seems like the two service points are sufficient but the locations of the service points could be improved for better efficiency and sightlines.
  • Self-checkout is proximate to holds, but there is the room and opportunity to provide more self-service options.
  • Each area needs more of an identity.
  • We visited this library on a sunny day and the interior felt dark, even in glass areas because of the overhangs.
  • Meeting rooms could use improvement.
  • Overall feel and appearance felt dated and could use a refresh and new layout.
  • Exposed brick walls are very dark.
  • Areas along windows are not well used and feel sparse.
  • The library is located adjacent to playing fields and multi-family housing.
  • The site has a lot of trees, a park-like setting, and some visibility from Glanzman Road.
  • The entire building feels like it is geared towards adults.
  • The interesting shapes and geometry of the exterior could be incorporated more thoughtfully into the interior.
  • New colors and lighting could have a big impact on this space.

In spring 2024, the Library sent a survey to the Lucas County community to learn what you love about your Library and how we could improve our buildings to better meet your needs. This is what 364 Heatherdowns and Toledo Heights neighbors said they wanted in an updated space.

We’d love to come talk to your neighborhood, school, association, or any other community group about the new consolidated branch or any of the Toledo Library’s building projects. Request a time for us to come see youPlease allow five business days to reply.

The original Heatherdowns Branch was built in 1968 and was unique for its circular shape. In 1991, it became the largest Branch in square footage. In 2015 and 2016, the Branch underwent substantial renovations with improved lighting, seating, and shelving. A media wall was built in the children’s section that features a 90-inch TV and two large-screen interactive educational tablets. In 2025, the branch began to prepare for a move to a new, consolidated location with Toledo Heights.
