The transformed NYPL Melrose Library restores and expands this historic 1914 Carnegie branch with a new light-filled third floor and welcoming spaces for children, teens, and adults. Balancing preservation with contemporary design, Mitchell Giurgola Architects revitalized the library into a fully accessible, technology-enhanced community resource that supports education, inclusion, and community life in the Bronx for many decades to come.
