This is the coolest bookmobile I have ever seen- not the one that is coming to Brooklyn though!
I guess if there is any time for a library to close for repairs, the early summer is the best time. However, having your neighborhood library close for any length of time is a total bummer. BUT, thanks to a new Bookmobile- the children won’t be left out.
Brooklyn Public Library will temporarily close the Greenpoint neighborhood library (107 Norman Avenue) after the close of business on Friday, June 4 for repairs. The repairs include: roof removal and replacement, minor façade remediation, interior ceiling tile replacement and lighting upgrade. They expect the library to be closed for 3 months and plan to open it on Tuesday, September 7, 2010 at 10:00 a.m., its regularly scheduled opening time.
All Greenpoint Library material holds will be available for pick up at the Leonard Library located at 81 Devoe Street, from Monday, June 7 through Friday, July 2, 2010.
Beginning June 8, BPL will provide interim service in front of the library from a new state-of-the-art Bookmobile on Tuesdays from 11 AM to 4 PM.
While the project proceeds, you can also visit our nearby libraries:
Bushwick Library – 340 Bushwick Avenue; (718) 602-1348
Leonard – 81 Devoe Street; (718) 486-3365
Williamsburg– 340 Division Avenue; (718) 302-3485
Borrowed materials may be returned at any BPL library. You can also renew items online at www.brooklynpubliclibrary.org or over the telephone at 718.230.6700, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
I have heard that the Williamsburg Library’s child room is lovely…anyone know what it’s like?
this bookmobile is of the chain man .comment from jamaica
This is so much nicer then the bookmobile I met for the first time last weekend. So clean and sharp. Love it.
Isn’t that the coolest? I want to LIVE in that bookmobile! The W’burg branch sounds worth visiting then- maybe on a hot summer day. Glad to know- thanks.
Dang, that bookmobile is a whole lot nicer than the Greenpoint library on its best day. And yes, the Wburg branch has a pretty great children’s section–it’s the whole top floor so noise isn’t much of an issue, and there are some toys to play with while you’re there.
