Civic Holidays

The Library has always been considered one of the truly democratic institutions of society and a portal for the freedom of information. To honor this mission, Brooklyn Public Library will be extending its holiday hours in 2020 over four civic holidays—Presidents' Day, Independence Day, Columbus Day/Indigenous People's Day, and Veterans Day.

Please join us for special programming and events at Central and Kings Highway libraries.

Central Library and Kings Highway Library will be open 1-5pm on the following holidays:
  • Presidents' Day
  • Columbus/Indigenous People's Day
  • Veterans Day

All Brooklyn Public Library locations will be closed on July 4, 2020 in observance of Independence day. Central Library and Kings Highway Library will be open from 1-5pm on July 3.
