In 1971, a new central library designed by Knoxville architect Bruce McCarty would double previously available floor space and provide a much-needed anchor to the Knox County Public Library stystem. Features of the new space included vinyl records, filmstrips, 10-cent copies, headsets that could reach the moon, a fine arts department where patrons could rent framed reproduction prints, and, in the Children's Room, a pet rabbit named Velvet.
