On October 21, 1972, the Library Board approved the purchase of a site located at 9701 East 21st Street, adjacent to the Lakeside Elementary School, just northeast of Warren Central High School and midway between Post and Mitthoeffer Roads. The 16,000 square-foot library opened for service on March 4, 1974.

On Sunday, June 3, 1979, a fire of uncertain origin started sometime before 4 p.m. in the interior book return area near the check-out desk. The branch was closed for seven months for clean-up and renovation, and reopened on January 2, 1980. A $1.1 million renovation completed in 2016 was the first major renovation since the Warren Branch originally opened.
