Creating New Stories

More than thirty years ago, the Silverdale community had outgrown its library. Still, this library has been central to our story, inspiring learning, connecting people and building a thriving community. In order to meet the ever-growing community needs, it is time to write a new story by building a new Library in Silverdale.

In 2018, Kitsap Regional Library and Central Kitsap School District (CKSD) launched a partnership to relocate the Silverdale library to the south end of the Central Kitsap High School campus. With a new public library, this campus becomes an invaluable place for the whole community.

At more than double the size of the current library, the new library will have dedicated space for children and teens, meeting and study rooms free for public use and plenty of parking. The design of this new space will dramatically improve the experience for everyone who visits.

Thank you to all who have invested in the Campaign for a New Library in Silverdale to date. With your generosity we have raised 84% of our $5,500,000 goal and are now moving into the final phase of our fundraising campaign as we launch the Community Campaign for a New Library in Silverdale.

We are very excited to share that The Friends of the Silverdale Library have kicked off the Community Campaign for a New Library in Silverdale with a generous $100,000 donation and have challenged the community to match their gift!

There are many ways for you to participate: Donate today, Start Fundraising, Share Your Library Story or any combination of these!

Gifts of all sizes make a difference; this is your opportunity to write a line in the story for a new Library in Silverdale. Please join the Campaign today!
