Grand Opening of the Canyon Branch Library:

A New Chapter for the Community

Join us in celebrating this significant milestone on Saturday, January 11, 2025.

After years of meticulous planning, beginning in 2019, the Canyon Branch is now ready to serve the community. Thanks to the unwavering support from the Board of County Commissioners, County Administration, Library Advisory Board, the Friends of the Palm Beach County Library System, our dedicated Library staff and enthusiastic supporters, the branch will be a new cornerstone in the Boynton Beach community.

To commemorate this momentous occasion, we will host an official ribbon-cutting ceremony at 10:00 am on Saturday, January 11, 2025.

The Canyon Branch Library will cater to residents in the unincorporated area west of Boynton Beach, surrounding the Canyon Town Center, covering regions west of Jog Road, south of Hypoluxo Road, east of State Road 7 and north of Valencia Bay.

The new building boasts spacious, airy and flexible spaces that encourage collaboration and inspiration. One of its standout features is the dividable meeting room and collaborative space, allowing it to accommodate groups of various sizes. Additionally, the branch offers a convenient drive-up service window for easy hold pickup and a separate book drop for quick returns. The collection includes over 130,000 Library materials including books, mobile Hot Spots, movies and other regalia.

Library Director Douglas Crane stated, “My thanks goes to all our Library staff, stakeholders and sponsors for their dedication and work complete for the opening of the Canyon Branch. This new location embodies our commitment to providing accessible, innovative and engaging spaces for all. We look forward to welcoming everyone to the Canyon Branch and continuing to connect communities, inspire thought and enrich lives.”

We look forward to seeing everyone at the grand opening of the Canyon Branch Library, a true testament to community collaboration and a bright future for Palm Beach County.
