This is the first new facility to open in the Libraries for a Smarter Future project, the Dayton Metro Library’s system-wide facilities upgrade made possible by voter support of a bond issue in 2012.
At 30,000 square feet, the Northwest Branch Library is the largest in the Dayton Metro system, serving patrons of the former Dayton View, Ft. McKinley and Northtown-Shiloh Branches.
