Meet Me At Main! Highlights of the Main Library Reopening Celebration

Relive all the fun from the Main Library's "Meet Me at Main" Reopening Celebration Weekend July 12-14, 2024.
The Downtown Main Library reopening celebration saw over 10,000 people explore the renovated South Building of the Main Library, featuring redesigned spaces like meeting rooms and interactive areas for kids and teens, the new Catherine C. and Thomas E. Huenefeld Story Center, the Social Stairs that connect all floors and highlight local music history, outdoor plazas with new public art and spaces to gather, the return of the beloved book sculpture, and Phronesis, a new large-scale light sculpture.
