The Saskatoon Public Library recently released a project update with the new plan and renderings for the four-level library being built on Second Avenue between 24th Street and 25th Street. The redesign includes structural and cosmetic changes, and shrinks the library by roughly 1,000 square metres to about 11,600 square metres.

The new library is expected to open in the summer 2027 and has renegotiated the sales agreement for the Frances Morrison Library to keep operating until spring 2027. A future release is also expected in 2025 once all construction tenders are awarded. To date, 60 per cent of construction tendering is done, with all coming in at or below budget.
