New Wheaton Library/Recreation Center building

Montgomery County plans to rebuild the Wheaton Library and the Wheaton Community Recreation Center to be co-located in a single building. The Gilchrist Center for Cultural Diversity will also be in the new complex. We are very interested in learning how you currently use or would use this new facility.

How can you give input?

Your suggestions will impact both the building design and future programming within. Thank you for your feedback.
