The Brighton Branch Library opened at its current location in 1972 and circulates over 200,000 materials. A new branch building is under construction at Bridge Street and 4th Ave. in Brighton and will be part of the new Brighton Cultural Center, which will include the new Brighton Branch Library and Historic Armory scheduled to open in Fall 2009. This new library building will be silver LEED certified and includes a children's area, expanded programming space and computer labs - all located in the heart of historic downtown Brighton.
