Tompkins Square Library

No

Hello. Our current Tompkins Square library branch did not open on this site until 1904. But, prior to that, there was the Fifth Street branch of the Aguilar Free Society Library, which operated since 1887. More information about the Aguilar Free Circulating Library comes from this Village Preservation article: https://www.villagepreservation.org/2020/10/01/beyond-the-village-and-back-the-aguilar-free-circulating-library/ For further assistance, please check our Milstein Division of United States History, Local History and Genealogy: https://www.nypl.org/locations/schwarzman/milstein You can also contact our Ask NYPL team: https://www.nypl.org/get-help/contact-us

At the moment the branch is only open for Grab and Go Services. Grab-and-go is a safe and socially distant checkout and return service that allows patrons to pick up requested books, cds and dvds and return items at these open locations while maintaining a safe distance from each other and staff.
