The 67th Street Branch was one of the Carnegie branches
built with funds donated to the City of New York by Andrew Carnegie.
The branch was designed by Babb, Cook & Willard, one of three
architectural firms selected to design the Library's Carnegie branches.
It was built, in agreement with the previous owner's wishes, to
resemble the Yorkville Branch.
In 2005 the 67th Street Branch reopened after a renovation, its
first since the 1950s, that refurbished the Library's architecture
and modernized its access and services. The original staircase with
decorative iron railing has been restored, along with numerous other
architectural details, including mosaic tile floors. The library's
14,000-square foot interior has also been reconfigured, providing
additional computer space, a redesigned children's floor, a community
room, and new restrooms. Reference and general collections for adults
and teenagers are on the first floor, and the children's collection
is on the second floor. A community room and technology training
classroom are located on the third floor.
