A neighborhood storefront library on the corner of 51st Street and Memorial Drive opened for operation in May of 2002. The 4,800 square foot facility focused on reading materials for all ages and computers with internet capabilities but no meeting room. It was intended to be a temporary location to fill the gap left when the Hardesty Regional Library moved from the Woodland Hills Mall area to 93rd & Memorial. This branch was replaced by the new Herman & Kate Kaiser Library at LaFortune Park in 2008.
