St. George Library Center

​​NYC's public libraries are here to help make sure ALL kids and families have access to books. We’re working with the New York Life Foundation to give away free children’s books you can take home and keep. Visit the St. George Library Center to get yours—while supplies last!

Launching on May 31 — Join us at the St. George Library for an 8-week playwriting workshop, led by teaching artists Carrie Ellman-Larsen and Nick Simone!

A community is made up of individuals; each person’s story is a part of its shared history. In this workshop, you will take inspiration from your own lived experiences and those of your friends and neighbors to craft a solo performance – a short one-person play. We will use the theatrical art form of devising to explore what feels urgent to you and utilize sound design to make your performance come to life.

The New York Public Library partners with accredited social work colleges across the city to connect you with students who can help you access vital social services, including housing, short-term shelter, food security, healthcare, and more. Available weekday afternoons and Saturdays at St. George Library Center.

Enjoy a book discussion at the library, from home or on the road! Hosted by local St. George Library Center librarians, join us each month to discuss classic literature, contemporary novels, nonfiction and more!

Unleash your creativity with our fun and engaging arts programs designed for adults! Each program will feature a different art form such as origami, painting, crocheting, creating pressed flowers, and other advanced crafts. Our staff instructors will guide you through each project step-by-step so you can create something beautiful to take home with you. All materials will be provided. No experience necessary.

You can now access iMac computers at St. George Library Center. These devices are installed with the full Adobe App suite, GarageBand (with 6 preinstalled sound packs), Audacity, DaVinci Restore, and additional creative software applications. Adult patrons can use their library cards to schedule an appointment to access an iMac in the Library's lower-level Reference Room.

Parents, babies, toddlers, and preschoolers are invited to visit the library each week and join Ms. Nobuko and Douglas for fun and engaging early literary programming!

From learning the basics of how to use a computer to coding to digital media production, there is a class for everyone. Topics range from beginner to advanced level, including series-based programs for those who want more in-depth knowledge.
