The library is located at 14th and Jones streets in a building constructed in 1912 but completely renovated and modernized to fit today's needs.
Sunday's grand opening of the new downtown Omaha public library welcomed hundreds of people including city and state leaders.
The 111-year-old building is transformed into a reader's paradise. Exposed brick that's classic to the old market, original tiling, and wooden beams are reminders of Omaha's foundation.
