New Utrecht Library closing for technology upgrade
Attention bibliophiles!
Bensonhurst residents are losing one of their favorite local libraries, but only temporarily.
The New Utrecht Library at 1743 86th St. is shutting down for a month starting on Jan. 18 for a technology upgrade, according to officials, who called the coming changes “customer service enhancements.”
The branch is expected to re-open on Feb. 19. While the branch is closed, patrons are being directed to use other nearby branches of the Brooklyn Public Library including: the Dyker Heights Library, 8202 13th Ave.; the Highlawn Library, 1664 West 13th St.; the Mapleton Library, 1702 60th St.; and the Ulmer Park Library, 2602 Bath Ave.
