In 1918 it was moved to 85 State Street as a "sub-branch". The present building, located at 976 Castleton Avenue, opened its doors on April 1, 1933. The building is air-conditioned, fully accessible to persons who use wheelchairs, and has a spacious backyard. The branch has collections of 45,000 books, periodicals, CDs, cassettes, and videos for adults, young adults, and children available for borrowing and use in the library.
