History

The branch was dedicated on October 1, 1988 and originally measured 9,000 square feet. Renovations to the branch made between November 1998 and November 1999 increased the branch’s size to 12,040 square feet. Further renovations completed from 2020 to 2023 improved the branch’s spaces and overall customer experience. The branch is named for the Forest Hills neighborhood area in which it’s located.
