Westlink Branch Library company history timeline

2007

On October 16, 2007, the Wichita City Council decided on the preferred site for a new central library at Second Street and McLean.

2011

In 2011, a study found that expanding the current Central Library facility would be possible, but would be more expensive than building a new facility and would not resolve building access issues.

2012

In 2012-13, the Library's Board of Directors considered a phased construction approach.

2014

In December 2014, the "Orchard Park" branch inside Orchard Park Recreation Center at 4808 West 9th was closed.

The City Council authorized a request for qualifications, with a presentation by a preferred design team in summer 2014.

2015

In January 2015, Wichita City Council voted in favor of a funding agreement with the library foundation to perform the design phase.

2018

Following the closure of the Central Public Library on May 6, 2018 after 50 years of service to the Wichita area, the Advanced Learning Library opened on June 16, 2018.

The branch closed in July 2018 so Dillon's could reclaim the space.
