Story

Branch History

Before the Revolutionary War, the Dutch who settled in the beautiful countryside, now known as the Upper West Side, called the area "Bloemendaal," meaning valley of flowers. Anglicized as Bloomingdale, this rural community was connected to the lower part of Manhattan by the Bloomingdale Road, its route largely echoed today by Broadway. In 1898, the community had its first library, the Bloomingdale Branch of the New York Free Circulating Library, which was consolidated in 1901 with The New York Public Library. Sixty years later, a new Bloomingdale library opened in a modern two-story building one block east of its original location. The Bloomingdale Library - spacious and wheelchair accessible - houses collections for adults and teenagers for borrowing on the ground floor. The children's collection shares the second floor with an auditorium used for library programs and community meetings.

Nice and quiet! Even with school kids. A decent amount of ac plugs in various locations. Comfy seating mixed in with the standard hard-backed chairs. Two levels. Wheelchair accessible. A nice place to hang out and use the free wi-fi.

Best local branch of the NYPL I have been to. Lots of tables to sit at. Some have plugs which is more than most library branches. Clean and Cozy.
