Melrose residents in the South Bronx have their local library back.
More than three years after the Melrose Library branch closed its doors for renovations, New York Public Library administrators, elected officials, and community members celebrated the reopening of the Melrose Library at 910 Morris Avenue.
The branch returned last week with an additional floor, an elevator, separate floors dedicated to children, teens, and adults, and colorful, plush furniture along with new computers, programming spaces, and a community room.
The New York Public Library celebrated the reopening of its newly renovated 125th Street branch in East Harlem on Wednesday.
