Library Information


Begun in 1901 in rented quarters at Smith and Carroll Streets, the library, formerly named the Carroll Park Branch, moved in 1905 to its current Carnegie building designed by William B. Tubby. At its community's request, the branch was renamed the Carroll Gardens Branch in 1973, after extensive renovations.

What's New:

Carroll Gardens Library will be temporarily closed for roof replacement at the end of business on 6/15/12. We anticipate the library being closed for approximately two months.
