More DescriptionOn April 29, 1986, an arson fire devastated Central Library, damaging the building and destroying parts of its vast collection. Months later, a second fire did even more damage. While renovation and expansion plans were already in the works, the tragic events galvanized the public and cemented the devotion of an already dedicated staff.

To commemorate this milestone, Central Library staff and volunteers recount their memories and reflect on a space that has made an impact on all those who walk through its doors.
