The New York Public Library has announced plans for a $30.2 million comprehensive renovation of the 122-year-old Carnegie branch on 10th Street.
The project is currently in the design phase, with construction projected to be completed by Dec. 22, 2028.
According to the NYPL, the renovation will reconfigure the library's layout to create dedicated spaces for children, teens and adults while addressing long-standing accessibility needs. Planned improvements include ADA upgrades to the entrance, bathrooms, and elevator, as well as new furniture, upgraded technology, and modernized building systems.
As part of the planning process, the library is seeking community input. Patrons can complete a survey online here or at a kiosk inside the branch between Avenue A and Avenue B through June 30.
After the survey closes, the NYPL plans to host a community meeting to share the results and gather additional feedback.
As branch manager William Hall noted in an email to patrons, the goal is to ensure the branch can serve the neighborhood for generations to come.
