About the Library

Interior view of Morrisania

Designed by Babb, Cook, and Willard and opened in 1908, the Morrisania Branch was constructed with funds given to New York City by Andrew Carnegie. Fully accessible to people who use wheelchairs, the two-story facility houses an adult and young adult collection on the first floor and a children's collection on the second.
