The Carnegie Library Building in Hespeler has seen many changes in years since it opened, most notably the award-winning renovation in 2007 that expanded the size of the building, while maintaining the original structure, the release added. Idea Exchange, the public libraries and public art galleries of Cambridge, has five locations, supporting and inspiring its community in the exploration of reading, arts, innovation, and learning.
