History
The Brydges Building opened March 9, 1974 after when the library's collections had outgrown the former Carnegie Library down the street. As of 1995, the library's Centennial, more than 400,000 printed volumes, periodicals, media, and a wide variety of other publications and documents were located within the library. The third floor is home to a vibrant Local History Department, containing more the 10,000 books and thousands of pictures and other ephemera, worked to preserve the rich history of Niagara Falls. Special youth collections and services were provided in a highly functional and attractive Children's Department, and the Audio Visual Department was expanding its services to meet the high demand for video recordings and other media.
