Marcy Library

This is the page for Marcy Library
(Brooklyn Public Library)

Marcy Library began life under a different name and in a different location. The Tompkins Park Free Library, located in the center of its verdant namesake, opened on June 6, 1899, in a pretty Grecian-style shelter with windows on all sides and an alcove for sorting books. The branch was assimilated into the new borough-wide system in 1901.

No Trash, Curbside Composting, or Recycling Collection on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 23, 2023

The New York City Department of Sanitation announced that in observance of Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 23, 2023, there will be NO trash, curbside composting, or recycling collection on the holiday.

Residents who normally receive Thursday trash or curbside composting collection may place their material at the curb Thursday evening, for collection beginning Friday. However, residents should expect collection delays, as is common after holidays. We appreciate your patience as we work to collect the backlog of material.
