EVPL Red Bank Closing for Demolition Ahead of New Library Build

If you’re a regular at EVPL Red Bank – or even if you just pop in for a book hold, a study session, or a little quiet time – you might want to make a visit soon. The branch will close its doors at 6 p.m. on Friday, December 12, as the building gets ready for demolition and a brand-new, much bigger library takes its place. And while “demolition” sounds dramatic, don’t worry – this is all part of EVPL’s long-term plan to better serve the west side.

Why EVPL Red Bank Is Closing

This upgrade is a major step in the Evansville Vanderburgh Public Library’s Master Facilities Plan, launched in 2022. That plan found what many west-siders already knew: the community could use a larger, more modern library space. So, EVPL is moving forward with a totally reimagined Red Bank – one that’s built for the way we live, work, study, and play today.
