The second branch was named after Charles E. Broughton and was attached to Wilson Elementary School on the city's south side.

The city planner at that time reported that some of this land, located at North 8th Street and New York Avenue, could be used as a library site.

Developer John Livesey proposed a $100 million enclosed shopping and office complex, to be called City Center.

[4] The only buildings that would have remained in the City Center site were the Prange's store, Mead Public Library and Trinity Lutheran Church.

The Brutalist features of the building were considerably lightened with dropped ceilings and brighter lighting, with the children's room moved to a newly built third floor with panoramic views of the surroundings of Sheboygan.

In 2024 the library installed an outdoor pick-up system to allow patrons to pick up reserved materials after hours.
