North Branch Library Expansion and Renovation

completed

The North Branch Library on Grove Avenue in Edison underwent a 15-month, $5.5 million renovation and expansion to better serve the community. The project included a 5,000-square-foot expansion with new community spaces such as an exhibit and gallery space, a 125-seat meeting room, a renovated children's section, a makerspace, updated technology infrastructure, and expanded adult fiction areas. Additional improvements included new public restrooms, upgraded lighting and flooring, improved accessibility, a new parking lot, and sidewalk enhancements. Further enhancements like a rain garden, donor-funded brick walkway, updated furniture, new digital displays, and a 24/7 automated book return system are planned.
