Established in 1897, the Bedford Library holds the distinction of being the first library within the Brooklyn Public Library system, boasting a rich history as one of the neighborhood's oldest institutions. Following a renovation in 2010, the bi-level library now offers a modernized interior with amenities including two community meeting rooms, a literacy center, and 15 computers, making it a sought-after after-school destination for PS 3 students.
Visitors to the Bedford branch can obtain free library cards and take advantage of complimentary WiFi, while enjoying various programs such as Reading is Fundamental (R.I.F.) and "This and That," a daily session of games, reading, and arts and crafts. Additionally, adult members can participate in activities like crocheting and knitting classes, further enriching the library's diverse offerings for the local community.
