Kings Highway Library

The Kings Highway Library will close at the end of the business day on Friday, April 15, 2016 for the installation of new LED Lights, and will reopen on Monday, April 25, 2016 at 10:00am. Beginning in an "undertaking establishment," as an unstaffed deposit station in 1910 the branch continued to move, to a shoe store, a frame shack on Kings Highway and other homes until 1954, when it opened in its own building on its present site. Kings Highway is the first branch library built in Brooklyn by the City of New York. After a renovation completed in 2009, Kings Highway opened with expanded space, including a basement reading room. This room is a favorite quiet area for study and wi-fi usage.
