library branch
Local lending location
A library branch is a location of a public library system outside the main or central library, serving a particular neighborhood or community.
Branch libraries offer most of the same services—borrowing books, internet access, programs—but typically with smaller collections and facilities: The library branch on Oak Street is closest to my house.
