A new 16,000-square-foot branch for Warren Township opened in 1974, positioned adjacent to Lakeside Elementary School and northeast of Warren Central High School. After a fire in 1979, the branch closed for seven months. A $1.1 million renovation completed in 2016 was the first major renovation since the Warren Branch originally opened.
