Muhlenberg Library, located in New York City's Chelsea area, is a historic branch of the New York Public Library system. Built in 1906 with funds from Andrew Carnegie, this elegant three-story brick and limestone structure has been serving the community for nearly a century.

Currently undergoing renovations, Muhlenberg Library is temporarily closed to the public but is expected to reopen in early 2024. Once reopened, visitors can expect a fully accessible space offering a wide range of resources, including books, e-books, computer access, online programs, and expert recommendations from librarians.
