You are beginning to see the construction of the Rancho Mirage Observatory
in our west parking lot. This is an exciting project that promises to offer very
high level science programming for all ages beginning later this year or
early in 2018.

We apologize for any disruption and, at times, limits on Library parking.
However, the Observatory will be an addition to the Library campus that
will bring the learning opportunities and future of our City to the very
highest levels.

We are in a golden era for the Library and for Rancho Mirage.

There is much to be enjoyed at the Rancho Mirage Public Library… and
