The Main Library serves as the hub of the entire Library system as well as the “neighborhood library” for thousands of downtown workers and residents. With one of the finest collections of materials among public libraries in the U.S., the Main Library attracts more than one million users annually. A gift shop, operated by the Friends of the Library, and a coffeeshop are located on the mezzanine. The Main Library also houses administrative offices, technical services, and facility and maintenance services.
