Brooklyn Public Library’s newest branch at 9 Adams Street in Dumbo marks its 60th location and the first new library in Brooklyn since 1983. The renovation transformed the ground floor of a historic 1901 manufacturing building into over 6,500 square feet of community-focused space, featuring flexible meeting rooms, modern technology, and dedicated areas for books and resources.
The library’s design includes 15-foot windows with views of the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges, a whimsical children’s area elevated to offer views, and a separate space for teens. Two large murals by Dumbo-based Link By Air reflect the neighborhood’s industrial history, while the building’s exterior is adorned with bright orange “Library” lettering, making it a vibrant cultural hub for the Vinegar Hill, DUMBO, and Farragut Houses communities.
