All Brooklyn Public Library locations will be closed for Memorial Day Weekend from Saturday, May 25th through Monday, May 27th.
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.
Tracing its beginning to the Concord Library, which closed because of the construction of the Independent Subway, Crown Heights Library moved, in 1931, to a storefront at 401 Rogers Avenue. The present library, opened in 1958, was built under the Beame plan. In 1992, the library opened a computer center, one of the first in the BPL system.
