Webster Library, located in New York City, is one of the oldest libraries in the area with a rich history dating back to 1893. Initially founded as the Webster Free Library in a building on East 76th Street, it was named after Charles B. Webster, the generous donor. The current location on 78th Street and York Avenue was designed by renowned architects and funded by Andrew Carnegie, opening its doors to the public on October 24, 1906.
The three-story facility caters to a diverse community of New Yorkers, offering collections for adults, young adults, and children. While it originally served a predominantly Czech immigrant population, it now serves as a vital resource for the broader community. With a range of resources and programs, Webster Library continues to be a beacon of knowledge and learning for all its visitors.
