Join us on May 30 to celebrate the start of the 2026 Summer Reading Program!! We will have games, arts and crafts, face painting, music, and more! And of course, you can get signed up for Summer Reading, get your trackers, see the prizes available for kids, teens, AND adults, and start reading!
While you're here, you can also register for the program, pick up your trackers, get a sneak-peek at prizes, and stock up on your first round of books to start counting those reading hours! Be here from 12 to 2 pm - bring the whole family, bring your friends - to kickoff Summer Reading 2026 and PLAY YOUR WAY with your community and your librarians!
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.
