Brooklyn Public Library opens Adams Street Library; first branch since 1983
On Tuesday, Brooklyn Public Library celebrated the opening of Adams Street Library, marking its 60th branch in the system and first new library built in Brooklyn since 1983.
Located at 9 Adams St. in DUMBO, the highly anticipated library is the first-ever to serve the communities of Vinegar Hill, DUMBO and Farragut.
“Adams Street is the first new library in Brooklyn in nearly four decades and a model for all public libraries in the decades to come,” said Linda E. Johnson, president and CEO of Brooklyn Public Library. “We’re grateful to our partners at WORKac for helping us realize a 21st century library that’s both artful and accessible, beautiful and versatile.”
