Brand Library & Art Center receives $9.5 million renovation

The 5,000-square-foot home of Leslie Coombs Brand are being brought back to life as the Brand Library & Art Center. It has been occupied since 1956. The $9.5 million upgrade is more than halfway complete and  the library's reopening slated for around spring of 2014.
