Library Reps Will Discuss Pacific Branch Next Week

Next Wednesday representatives from the Brooklyn Public Library will attend a Community Board Six subcommittee meeting to discuss the plan to sell the Pacific Street Branch of the library and move it into the Two Trees South Site development. As the plan stands, the Brooklyn Public Library will not begin the process of selling the library building until the city approves the land-use review for the BAM South Site. Then the new branch wouldn’t open at that site until 2016. The meeting next week will be an opportunity for the public to ask questions and comment on these future plans. Some Community Board Six members are curious as to how the land-use review process for the BAM South Site will tie into the library move. And it’s worth mentioning that the library sale also depends on approval from the city council, a process that would likely not begin until late this year or early the next. If you’re interested in attending, the meeting is Wednesday, March 20 at 6:30 pm at the 78th Police Precinct.
