Bushwick Library opened in the rented first floor of a church at Montrose Avenue and Humboldt Street in 1903 before moving to its present location on Bushwick Avenue in 1908. Today this historic Carnegie library is a popular destination for children and families, with Story Time and Kids Tech Time among its best-attended offerings. The Spectrum Learning Lab, the branch's new educational programming and technology center, provides patrons with free, state-of-the-art technology as well as digital literacy workshops, STEM programs and open labs for independent work.
