Photos by Steven

The Tompkins Square Library branch on 10th Street between Avenue A and Avenue B is now closed (as of yesterday) for renovations. (First mentioned here.)

According to an email to patrons, the closure, expected to last three months, will "facilitate improvements to the building, including preliminary work on a new Teen Center at the library, as well as replacing the branch's flooring and a fresh coat of paint." 

During this temporary closure, patrons are encouraged to use the following nearby branches: 
• Ottendorfer Library, 135 Second Ave. 
• Hamilton Fish Park Library, 415 E. Houston St. 
• Jefferson Market Library, 425 Sixth Ave. 
The branch opened here in 1904 and is expected to be back in service in early July.
