Macon Library Macon Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

Welcome to the Macon Library, a treasured community resource located on Macon Street in the heart of Brooklyn, New York. As one of the best-preserved Carnegie branches in Brooklyn, our beautiful, historic library has been serving the community since 1907. The two-story, Classical Revival-style building retains its original fireplaces, oak paneling, alcoves, and wooden benches, offering a warm and inviting atmosphere that has welcomed patrons for over a century.

At Macon Library, we offer a range of unique services to enrich your experience. You can borrow up to three tools at a time from our Greenpoint Library, and enjoy access to museum passes for over 80 cultural institutions. For those interested in exploring their heritage, we provide a comprehensive guide to resources that are helpful in conducting genealogical research.

Our Dionne Mack-Harvin Center, dedicated to African American history and culture, houses the "Preserving Footsteps" collection, making it a cornerstone for cultural enrichment and education. Macon Library is not just a place for books; it is a vibrant and vital cultural and civic center for everyone in the community.

We invite you to become part of our story by joining the Friends of Macon Library, a dedicated group of volunteers who support us through advocacy, fundraising, and promotion. Your involvement helps keep our library thriving. For more information, ask a staff member or email [email protected].

Join us for our upcoming events at the Dionne Mack-Harvin Heritage Center and experience the rich history and culture that Macon Library has to offer. We look forward to welcoming you!
