Bed-Stuy's Saratoga Library Re-Opens Monday

BED-STUY, BROOKLYN — After over two years, the Saratoga Library will reopen on Monday, Feb. 13 at 10 a.m.

The library, which fist opened its doors in 1908, had numerous repairs and upgrades performed since it shuttered in November 2020, including HVAC upgrades, an expanded children's and young adult collection, updates to the building's exterior and a new after-hours book drop off.

"We're excited to welcome you back to your neighborhood library!" the Brooklyn Public Library wrote in an email to its members.

The announcement hinted that there are a few more improvements yet to come, including new furniture and a brand new teen tech center, but, the library wrote, "we wanted to open to the public as soon as possible."

Saratoga Library is located at 8 Thomas S. Boyland St., near Macon Street.

Starting on Monday, the library will be open for the following hours:

• Monday, Wednesday, Friday: 10 am – 6 pm
• Tuesday: 1–8 pm
