About the Library

Meadowdale Library’s prairie style architecture inspires admiring comments for the warm and welcoming feeling created by the building - and the staff. Meadowdale is closely connected to its diverse community. A large part of CCPL’s bilingual and Spanish-language books are at the Meadowdale library, which also hosts a Spanish study hour every week. The Chesterfield Business Suite and small business workshops help local entrepreneurs become successful, while job seekers get help with applications and learning interview and work skills. The beautiful large meeting room with its own kitchen is perfect for workshops and events.
