Good news! Coney Island and Gerritsen Beach libraries will reopen this fall after extensive renovations due to Hurricane Sandy. See our Hurricane Sandy Renovations page for updates.
Coney Island Library
Closed for Renovation
Due to damage from Hurricane Sandy the Coney Island Library is temporarily closed. Bookmobile Service will be provided on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11 AM to 4 PM in front of the Coney Island Branch.
The Coney Island Branch started as an unstaffed deposit station in a Surf Avenue store in 1911. It became a fully staffed branch in 1921 after moving to the old offices of the Coney Island Times on Stillwell Ave. In 1954, its new library was called "the first-ever library built on stilts over the Atlantic Ocean."
