Midwood and Borough Park City Council Members David Greenfield and Brad Lander have announced the opening of four branches of the Brooklyn Public Library on Sunday to accommodate Brooklyn’s growing Orthodox Jewish population that cannot use the library on Saturday.

The new Sunday service will go into effect at the Midwood (Avenue J and East 16th), Borough Park (13th Ave and 43rd), Mapleton (18th Avenue and 60th) and Ryder (23rd Avenue and 59th Street) branches starting Sunday, October 25th. Thanks to funding secured by Greenfield and Lander, these libraries will join the Kings Highway (on Ocean Avenue) and Central branches in being open on Sunday.
