About the Library

Interior view of George Bruce Library

The George Bruce Library features a spacious children's room and cultural programs for all ages. Completed in 1888, the original George Bruce Library was located on 42nd Street. When the building was sold in 1915, the proceeds were used to build the present-day, handsome, brick and sandstone, Carrere and Hastings-designed building on 125th Street.
