The Bedford Library has reopened after a four-year closure due to COVID-19 and renovations. The library, founded in 1897, now features a high-efficiency HVAC system and other energy-saving upgrades. These improvements make it a model for energy efficiency, enhancing air quality and safety for visitors. According to BPL's CEO, Linda E. Johnson, the library aims to help a new generation discover opportunities, from story time to career classes. The $2.4 million renovation also included an upgraded fire safety system, addressing the needs of a historic building.
As the first public library in the borough, Bedford Library has provided Brooklynites space to explore their interests, read great books and connect with one another for over 125 years.
The new system will not only keep the building cool in the summer and warm in the winter but will "dramatically" improve air quality inside the old building.
