Library users embrace BPL expanded hours
The Bay Ridge, Fort Hamilton, McKinley, New Utrecht and Sunset Park libraries are now open a few hours more per week, and library patrons are thrilled and hopeful for even more improvements.
“I think this is great,” exclaimed Jovita Vergara Sosa, who regularly visits the Sunset Park Library at 5108 Fourth Avenue with her three young sons. “I walk by and see people waiting for it to open at 1 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays. There is a huge need in Sunset Park for recreational and educational space.”
Catherine O. agreed as she sat on the steps at the Fort Hamilton branch 20 minutes before it opened. “My computer died and I haven’t had a chance to replace it yet, so it’s been necessary to come here” for work, she explained. “I would honestly like to see more Sunday hours. I love it. I can use the computer, put on my headphones and be in the zone.”
