The 1993 Glenn Dale-Seabrook-Lanham and vicinity master plan recommended constructing a branch library within the sector plan area at the Eastgate Shopping Center or in the southwestern corner of the Annapolis Road (MD 450) and Greenbelt Road (MD 193) intersection.
Current library standards call for new branch libraries to be constructed in areas with a population of 40,000 to 80,000 residents where there are no libraries within three miles or less than ten minutes driving time. This plan forecasts a 2030 population of 33,406. Nearly the entire sector plan area is within three miles driving distance of an existing branch library, though traffic conditions may warrant a trip exceeding ten minutes. The Prince George’s County 2010–2015 CIP contains a recommendation for a branch library in Glenn Dale (CIP Item #HL719413).

Capital Improvement Plan
Required by state law, the CIP is a six-year plan created to guide the county’s response to facility and infrastructure needs. The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC) departments and county agencies assess needs based on planning studies and programs and submit these needs to the County Executive’s office. Priority lists are developed, along with a capital funding budget for implementation of the first year’s projects. The current proposed CIP extends from FY 2010 to FY 2015. Table 47 on page 183 identifies all public facilities in the Glenn Dale-Seabrook-Lanham sector plan area included in this CIP.
Generally, the Glenn Dale-Seabrook-Lanham sector plan area is serviced with public water and sewer and is designated as a Category 3—Community Service. This category comprises all developed land (platted or built) on public water and sewer and undeveloped land with a valid preliminary plan approved for public water and sewer. There are a few individual properties in the sector plan area that are in Category 4—Community System Adequate for Development Planning or Category 5—Future Community Service. Category 4 includes virtually all properties eligible inside the sewer envelope for which a subdivision is required, while a Category 5 designation is typically for properties that are inside the sewer envelope that should not be developed 182
