History :
In 2003, the building underwent an expansion and renovation to add 5,000 sq. ft. for a larger library service area and a teen center. Designed by Dewberry, the refurbished facility opened in October 2004. At this time, the building was renamed the Henry Zarrow Regional Library, in recognition of a very special gentleman and supporter of the library. The clever bison statue in front of the building is called “Mr. Henry the Reading Buff,” also in honor of Mr. Zarrow. In 2005, another sculpture, “Storytime for Two,” was installed. Designed by local artist Rosalind Cook, it was donated by the Zarrow family in remembrance of Mr. Zarrow’s late wife, Anne.
The renovated building has been very popular with the citizens of Southwest Tulsa, and continues to be a vital part of the community.
