To reduce operating costs, both the Carrick and Brookline branches were open on alternating days with the same staff caring for both. In 1941, a new Brookline facility was being constructed. At that time the Carrick and Knoxville branches were combined with Knoxville providing service to only adults and Carrick still providing all of its services.
