About the Library

Interior view of Mosholu

The Mosholu Branch of The New York Public Library is located on 205th Street, adjacent to Whalen Park and the Perry Avenue exit of the D train.The branch's name comes from the Weckguasgeeck Indian word, mosholu, which has been interpreted to mean "smooth stones" or "small stones" and once described a local brook. The one-story structure, which features modernist design, opened in 1955.
