Set against the backdrop of a vibrant multi-ethnic community in the Northwest Bronx, the Kingsbridge Branch of The New York Public Library has been an integral part of its neighborhood since 1905. Originally located on Kingsbridge Avenue, the branch then shifted to 280 West 231st Street from January 23rd, 1959 to June 11th, 2011. Today the library is located at 291 West 231st Street and features two floors with large collections for adults, young adults, and children. There is also a beautiful outdoor garden, spacious meeting space, a children's story hour room, and numerous computers and laptops for patrons.
