The interim branch will have around 17,000 books, 34 laptops, printers, a kids area, a programming room with movie projector and more. The site is wheelchair accessible.
Construction of the new library at 280 Cadman Plaza West will begin soon. At 26,620 square feet, the branch will be the largest in Brooklyn. The new Brooklyn Heights Library, owned by the City of New York, will anchor a mixed-use building topped by market-rate condominiums. The project will generate $40m for repairs at other branches throughout the borough while creating 100+ affordable housing units offsite.
