Happy Birthday to Central Library!

Celebrate the 3rd anniversary of Central Library's Grand Reopening and its 103rd year as the crown jewel of the Library system.  Central Library’s doors first opened to the public on January 6, 1912. One hundred years later, on December 9, 2012, the doors reopened following a $70 million restoration and renewal that not only highlighted the building’s historical significance but also transformed previously closed spaces into a modern facility for use by the public.

In honor of our 150th Anniversary as a system, we’ll celebrate Central’s birthday on December 9 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Get your slice of birthday cake in the Atrium on the First Floor. Take a tour of the building with a docent, who will tell you about the old and new. And visit the Rare Books and Special Collections for an exhibit about our original opening day in 1912.
