I really need some reading material and find it so hard to order holds online. Are there any libraries in Brooklyn open for in person browsing?

I read somewhere that Kensington library is open but I haven't had a chance to check if it's true.

I thought so but I’m so desperate that I was hoping you’d know something I don’t!

Only grand army plaza

It's a source of pain for me too, and for my bookworm son

Is it open normally or only for lobby pickup?

some branches may have a browsing shelf. not many books, but a few. I know that mill basin had at some point.
it is VERY frustrating. I don't know why they can't safetly reopen. they don't need to have tables or computers open... Just come, limit 10 minutes or wtvr, and go.... Limit # of people inside...

I literally remember browsing the website for the status on all locations and this one was open. They must have shut it down again.

Complain to your elected officials. Everything else is slowly opening up. They are prioritizing sports over reading.

Choose books on the bpl app. Choose a branch closest to you. You will be notified when it arrives. You have about a week to pick up after notice.
