The Eastchester Branch of The New York Public Library
began serving the Baychester and Williamsbridge sections of the Bronx
in 1950 when it was housed in the Eastchester Gardens Housing Project.
In August 1985, the now modern 7500-square foot structure, moved to
its present location on East Gun Hill Road at the corner of Knapp Street.
The one-story facility houses adult, young adult, and children's collections.
An auditorium is available for community group meetings. The branch
is air-conditioned and fully accessible to persons who use wheelchairs.
