History

Established in 1979.

The Wayne Branch Library is the closest branch to the airport, just off Rockville Road on the county’s far west side. Located just over one mile from I-​465 and 1.5 miles from Ben Davis High School and the Chapel Hill 7^th and 8^th Grade Center, our 13,500 square foot building houses approximately 78,000 books in separate adult and children’s wings connected by a centrally-​located circulation desk.

The Wayne Library opened to the public on March 21^st, 1983, so our 30^th birthday will be on March 21^st, 2013. Our community room, with room for seating 69 people, is booked often by both staff and patrons. It contains a small kitchenette, a projection screen, a chalkboard, two white boards, and a controlled lighting system. The building is set back from Rockville Road and can be accessed either by the main entrance off of Girls School Road or through the Rockville Plaza Shopping Center.
