WILKES-BARRE, LUZERNE COUNTY- One branch of a Wilkes-Barre library will be moving into a new permanent home.

The North Branch of the Osterhout Library will move into the old Abbot Methodist Church on Oliver Street.

An open house is scheduled for Sunday. Staff members say a lot of renovations are needed but they hope to open the library early next year.
