 The Hunt branch had been proposed as a future site of the future Norton Simon art collection, however, negotiations fell through, and it became the Hunt Branch instead, while the art went to the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena, California.The Hunt Branch provides books, computer access and wifi, programs for children and adults including story-times, book-clubs, and after-school activities, and rental meeting room space.In March 2013, the Hunt Branch was temporarily closed.
