Project Summary
The West Regional Library first opened in 2006 and is one of Wake County’s more active libraries. It serves western Cary and portions of Morrisville. It was recently renovated to update the interiors and address various aging building systems. Improvements include improved layouts, furnishings, shelving, floor and wall finishes, high efficiency LED lighting, HVAC equipment and support space improvements.
The library closed in early January 2025 in preparations for the renovation and reopened in late October 2025.
