Community support for the East Flatbush branch has been a mainstay since its founding in 1945. Today, the branch is home to a large and loyal patronship, with children and young adults forming approximately 70% of the library’s users. Currenty closed for a comprehensive renovation, the branch will offer a light-filled, inspirational space for reading, studying and learning when it reopens.
