ak Creek Public Library is a destination for lifelong learning. It is an institution that our citizens can be proud of and was designed to meet the changing information needs of our growing community. We are in the “heart” of Drexel Town Square, an 85-acre city center that is redefining the community. The new library is a model of 21st century libraries—one that is a warm, inviting place to read and enjoy programs while offering cutting-edge technology and an innovative design. More than just a new look, the library offers new opportunities for learning by providing the community with an extensive collection of print and electronic resources, technology, and community activities.
