The main branch closed on April 13, 2015 for the renovation project. It is the first time there has been a major renovation there since 1991. The goals were to provide outdoor reading space by connecting the library to Topiary Park, to update the Carnegie Plaza, enhance the children’s area and add a reading room with a view of Topiary Park.
