MPS invested in renovating Doerfler’s library to create a multipurpose, versatile space for students, staff, parents and community events. The vibrant, flexible library space with its large bilingual collection, technology, and modular furniture supports creativity, imagination, and collaboration. The library was designed and created through a collaborative effort of a number of MPS departments including Facilities, Finance, the Superintendent’s Office, Curriculum and Instruction, and the Doerfler staff.
