The Wyoming library has occupied several sites since its humble beginnings as a storefront library in the 1940s. Now located on Michael Avenue, just south of 28th Street, the library has been recently expanded and renovated and covers almost 48,000 square feet, making it the largest and busiest branch in the Kent District Library.
