———————————————–

Our Arbor Hill/West Hill Branch was newly built in 2010, and its striking contemporary profile stands as a beacon to this historic neighborhood.  It is the first-ever library to serve West Hill, and the first in almost 50 years to serve Arbor Hill.

Honored with the 2011 New York Library Association Outstanding Public Library Building Award, this 12,000-square-foot branch features a soaring front atrium with floor-to-ceiling windows and views of the neighborhood, and a beautiful interior garden.  This branch is a silver LEED-certified building, which means it is energy efficient and sustainably constructed with cost effective “green” systems.  With separate spaces, collections, and computers for adults, kids, and teens, our Arbor Hill/West Hill Branch is the place to be!
