Bronx Library Center

Welcome to the Bronx Library Center, your gateway to a world of knowledge and community engagement in the heart of The Bronx. Located at 310 East Kingsbridge Road, our library is the largest public library in the borough, offering a vast array of resources and services for all ages.

Explore our extensive collections of fiction and nonfiction books, available for checkout, and dive into the rich cultural offerings in the Dr. Jay M. Gorell Reference Reading Room, featuring the Latino and Puerto Rican Cultural Collection and monthly art exhibitions. Our third floor is not only home to these collections but also to our free outdoor terrace, soon to be reinvigorated into a vibrant community space designed to combat the heat island effect. We invite you to share your thoughts on this exciting transformation through our community survey.

The Bronx Library Center is more than just books. Discover our wide range of programs, from engaging workshops and classes to our Job Fair & Expo, where you can build your LinkedIn profile, connect with potential employers, and access valuable career resources. Organizations interested in participating in the expo are encouraged to submit an application to reserve their spot.

For children and teens, our dedicated areas offer a welcoming space to explore and learn. Adults can enhance their English language skills through our comprehensive programs, improving writing, reading, speaking, and listening abilities. Our library also provides convenient services like document printing directly from your personal device, with a fee of $0.20 per page.

Please note that as of November 22, 2023, IDNYC services are no longer available at our location, and due to new library policies, e-bikes, e-scooters, and electronic transportation devices are not permitted inside any NYPL location, excluding mobility aids.

Designed by Dattner Architects, the Bronx Library Center opened its doors on January 17, 2006, as NYPL's first green library, earning the prestigious LEED Silver Certification Award in 2007. We proudly serve as a digital repository for the Central Business District Tolling Program, contributing to sustainable urban development.

Join us in celebrating the creativity of our community through events like the poetry and art showcase by the PEP for Seniors Group. The Bronx Library Center is committed to supporting our community with the resources and services they need during challenging times.
