About Benjamin L. Hooks Central Library
The Cossitt Library was the "Central" library until the "Main" library opened on Peabody in 1955. This building was further expanded in 1971. The current building opened in 2001. In 2005, the Central Library was renamed the Benjamin L. Hooks Central Library, in honor of the noted civil rights leader, lawyer, judge, and Baptist minister.
The building has 330,000 square feet and holds about 625,000 books and other items.
