The current Ridgeview Branch Library had its grand opening on June 20, 1998. In 2020, to meet the demand for more technology and more space, this building was renovated by the City of Hickory. The expansion included a 100-seat meeting room, a group study room, increased seating and computer space, new technologies like 3D printing, and modifying existing space. Next door to the library is the Ridgeview Recreation Center, which had once been home to the Community Center. Here is where many concerts and activities were held and plenty of memories were made.
