You know we love books at the library! We want to hear about your favorite books and maybe introduce you to some new favorites! Join us for our bi-monthly school-age program at the College Avenue branch library! This week, we'll be talking about books, books, books!
Join us for Saturday Smarties at College Ave, a time just for school-age kids (ages 6-12) to hang out, be social and creative, and try new things, every other Saturday. For our first meet-up in April, we'll be talking about our book buddies - books that you're reading, books that you can't put down, books that you come back to again and again, and more! After we chat and explore what our favorite stories have in common (and what they don't), we'll each choose a ~secret~ book to add to our reading lists!
Established as the Broadway Branch in 1924, the library served the neighborhood from a frame house on E. 42nd Street until 1958 when a 6,500-square-foot facility opened on Broadway Street. This aging and overcrowded building was replaced in August 2000 with the current 16,000-square-foot structure on College Avenue that was renamed the College Avenue Branch.
