The Wayne Branch Library first opened in December of 1969 in a shopping center located at 7341 Rockville Road. Due to high demand, the storefront space was enlarged in 1973, but the need for more space was evident. A permanent 13,500 square foot location opened in 1984, and the branch remains in that same building today. The Wayne Branch underwent a $1.1 million renovation in 2020 to add more seating and activity space, study rooms, and a quiet reading area, but still features the split design of a separate children's and adult wing.
