The Palm Beach County Library System is excited to begin the official countdown to the grand opening of the Canyon Branch Library. The culmination of this momentous project is set for Jan 11, 2025, when the branch will officially open to the public. This has been many years in the making, with the official planning for the new branch library beginning in 2019.

A six-marble column art installation called "Opening Minds," designed by Brad J. Goldberg, graces the front of the building. The columns feature famous quotes and titles from American and World history and binary code representing the intermingling of the traditional and digital world. This installation reinforces the Library's vision of opening minds to a world of unlimited possibilities.
The new building features an open and spacious design. It boasts a collection of 130,000 library materials, a beautiful atrium, a bright Children and Teen Area and the largest meeting room space in all of the branch libraries.

Located in the heart of the lively and up-and-coming area of Canyon in western Boynton, the Palm Beach County Library System hopes to provide the community with a space that connects, inspires and enriches the lives of its members.

Library Director Douglas Crane stated, "We are excited to welcome residents to the new Canyon Branch. It will offer a wealth of resources, programs and services designed to meet the diverse needs of our community."
