What residents need to know
The Central Library is a nearly 250,000-square foot, three-story building on more than two acres. The Central Library is not a historic building. The property was built in two phases 44 years ago.
The current site features a second floor that remains unfinished. Since the library reopened to the public after pandemic-related closures in 2020, only the street-level floor is accessible to the public. Visits to the downtown location have decreased 45% since reopening in 2020.
