The main library closed at the end of 2011. The building now houses a museum.<ref>{{cite news|title=Gary's main library closing|url=http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/4585159-418/garys-main-library-closing.html|access-date=March 31, 2011|newspaper=Chicago Sun-Times|date=March 31, 2011|author=Christin Nance Lazerus}}</ref>
