branch library
Neighborhood lending outpost
A branch library is a smaller library that operates as part of a larger library system, located in a neighborhood or community away from the main or central library.
Branch libraries extend access to library services across a geographic area: The branch library on Oak Street is closer than driving downtown.
They typically share collections and resources with other branches in the system.
