Melrose Branch Library-NYPL

Melrose Branch Library-NYPL The Melrose Library, located on the corner of Morris Avenue & 162nd St., is a bustling and active branch located in the South Bronx.

The Melrose Branch of the New York Public Library is the closest branch to Yankee Stadium and the borough's thriving court system. The branch opened its doors on January 16, 1914, and was one of the many libraries built with funds from Andrew Carnegie. The building was designed by Carrere and Hastings. Originally, the simple red-brick structure rose to four stories. The top two floors were removed

during an extensive renovation and modernization in 1959. This air-conditioned library now occupies almost 10,000 square feet, and has separate rooms for children and adults. It serves an ethnically diverse population of approximately 50,000; almost 25% of the branch's users prefer to read and speak in Spanish.
