 The project included tearing down the entire building, with the exception of the original 1938 shell, and rebuilding into a building which houses the new Westover Branch Library and several public pre-school programs.The library reopened on October 31, 2009, having been relocated from its former location approximately one block northeast.By 2010, as predicted, the elementary schools that had absorbed Reed's student population (McKinley and Tuckahoe elementary schools) were the most overcrowded in county, and the county considered expanding Reed to serve as an elementary school again.
