About the Business
Welcome to the Brooklyn Public Library - Kings Bay Branch, a cherished community hub located in the heart of Brooklyn, New York. Since its inception in 1951, Kings Bay Library has been a cornerstone of the Sheepshead Bay neighborhood, evolving and expanding to meet the diverse needs of its patrons. Nestled in a larger, welcoming space since 1959, our branch offers a plethora of services and programs designed to enrich the lives of all visitors.
At Kings Bay Library, we offer unique resources such as the ability to borrow up to three tools at a time from our Greenpoint Library collection, and museum passes granting access to over 80 cultural institutions. For those interested in exploring their heritage, we provide a comprehensive guide to genealogical research resources.
Our library is more than just a place to read; it's a vibrant cultural and civic center. We regularly collaborate with Naturally Occurring Retirement Communities and the Visiting Nurse Service of New York to offer programming tailored to older adults, including ZUMBA, low-impact exercise classes, health presentations, and blood pressure screenings.
The Friends of Kings Bay Library, a dedicated group of volunteers, plays a vital role in advocating, fundraising, and promoting our library. Their efforts help sustain our library as a dynamic and essential part of the community. If you’re interested in joining this passionate group, feel free to speak with a staff member or email [email protected] for more information.

Reviews
"Clean, quiet space to work. Staff is helpful. Public restrooms available."
"I had visited this library after a long time and I must say that the library looks terrific. The ambience is amazing and it is very clean. The library is well maintained. I love the comfort of having Kiosk which allows you to easily borrow anything library has to offer. The computers are well maintained and are easy to use by utilizing your card. The staff is very helpful in answering all of your queries with so much patience and knowledge. I would highly recommend this library if you are around the area."
"I love this library. Rhe same lady has been working there since I was a young lady. It's always clean and quiet. Limited books but you can request what you need at the desk."
"Love this place! I like the fact that children are coming on there time off for the summer. Great customer service and friendly staff."
"Update: My card had expired over the pandemic, the circulation desk was very helpful in updating my info. And also placing a hold for a new book, for me--and explaining how many copies were in circulation and how many were on the wait list. Very helpful. My children & I love this library--and particularly where children are concerned, it's gotten even better recently!! I'm providing this review, mainly because I have been so impressed by the newest "youth librarian". She is soft-spoken and super approachable and creative with her story-time/coloring club! Saturdays from 11am - 12pm is one of the highlights of my toddler's & my weekend! It is inclusive & engaging--esp for the toddler/pre-k crowd (and even my 10year old doesn't mind " tagging along). I highly recommend it. I feel bad for folks whose criticism is that it is loud & noisy at times...but from the point of view of a parent it is a joy & a relief to have a FREE, engaging, fun, not-too-long, educational activity to participate in regularly with my toddler!! Thank you Kings Bay Library. Keep up the good works! I'd LOVE to see more weekend kid-friendly activities (like your concert series! That exposure is essential for young minds). Note for new parents: Large, relatively clean bathrooms available, with changing tables!"
