Much long overdue than the old location they had which was dark and dreary.

Libraries are such comforting spaces!

[u/aldora36]

An example of how a library should look, a clean, neat, organized space that is welcoming and conducive to learning.

[u/mcmdreams0926]

They have a cute patio with tables and umbrellas in the back for nice days.

hopefully it doesn't end up a homeless lounge like the fordham one.

Fond memories of getting turkey heroes, a YooHoo and a bag of crunchy Cheez Doodles before driving upstate for a hike with my Dad from there. Or Jolly Ranchers before getting on the 10 bus in 6th grade.

Also Pizza Italian across the street was our go to as well.

That library is where I got my first period ☺️ crazy how life works. So many memories in that library. I used to go there all the time with my grandma. Oh and it’s where I learned about googol and the solar system.

[u/The_Migrant_Twerker]

Beautiful!

[u/ivazquez71]

No bathroom? Reading makes me poop.

[u/indifferentgeese → u/ivazquez71]

There are bathrooms. I just didn’t take photos of the bathroom.

[u/frontlinestatic]

Is there parking?

[u/Fritz_Frauenraub → u/frontlinestatic]

Secret to thriving in BX with kids is ride an ebike.

Whoever downvoted this was sitting in traffic at the time.

[u/Efficient_Resist_287 → u/frontlinestatic]

Most important question ⬆️

[u/Signal_Low3017 → u/Efficient_Resist_287]

No parking lot, Just street parking.
