Cortelyou Library is a public library in Flatbush, Brooklyn, located on Cortelyou Road, owned and operated by the Brooklyn Public Library system.^[1]

History

Flatbush residents began advocating and planning for the Cortelyou Branch starting in 1969. The branch was completed and opened in 1983.^[2]^[3] The library was one of the first in NYC to utilize a "merchandising format" of displaying books.^[2]

The Cortelyou branch was one of 10 branches to close temporarily during the COVID-19 pandemic.^[4]

The library was remodeled in 2021, led by community organization Friends of Cortelyou Library. The branch re-opened in late 2021 after the six month remodel.^[5]
