Originally called South Branch, the original Sunset Park Library opened to the public on December 9, 1905, at 5108 Fourth Ave (at 51st Street). The original two-story, Classical Revival-style building, designed by architects Lord & Hewlett and funded by philanthropist Andrew Carnegie, was demolished in 1970 and rebuilt in 1972.

Brooklyn Public Library and the Fifth Avenue Committee (FAC), a nonprofit with extensive affordable housing and community development experience, teamed up to redevelop Sunset Park Library. The brand new, just over 20,000-square-foot branch is topped by 49 units of affordable housing—including 9 units reserved for victims of domestic violence.

Recording Studio 

Sunset Park Library has an amateur recording studio for Library cardholders working on audio or video projects! Please see our policies and guidelines below, as well as technical details.

For more information on how to use the equipment and software in the studio, visit BPL’s guide to the Recording Studio.

Note: This guide refers to the Information Commons Recording Studio at BPL’s Central Library. For a complete list of Sunset Park Library's Recording Studio equipment, view the Sunset Park Library's Recording Studio policy.
