Newly Renovated Cortelyou Library Celebrates Reopening with Assembly Member Robert C. Carroll and Friends of Cortelyou Library
The Friends of Cortelyou Library, BPL President Linda E. Johnson and Assembly Member Robert Carroll — an enthusiastic supporter of libraries across the borough — welcomed patrons back to Cortelyou Library today after a brief closure to upgrade the branch.
“As Albert Einstein said, ‘The only thing that you absolutely have to know, is the location of the library.’ And now, as the renovated and enhanced Cortelyou Road Library reopens, it can resume its extraordinarily vital role in the heart of one of the country’s most diverse communities. I am proud of the role New York State played in funding this renovation in partnership with the Brooklyn Public Library, Friends of Cortelyou Library and the Prospect Park South and Ditmas Park neighborhoods,” said Assemblymember Robert C. Carroll.
Patrons returning to the library will find a completely refreshed library with an improved layout, including a new teen space and a brighter children’s section. All of the shelving and main floor furniture have been replaced, with the aim of making the library feel more open and welcoming. Additional outlets and energy-efficient lighting have also been added.
