Ever wondered what Jacobus Kip would think of his namesake library? Kips Bay Library stands here on Third Avenue, a far cry from the 17th-century farm that once occupied this land. Kips Bay Library replaced two older libraries, St. Gabriel’s and Nathan Straus, opening its doors on March 1, 1972. The building itself is a testament to forward-thinking design. Architect Giorgio Cavaglieri designed Kips Bay Library with accessibility in mind. It was one of the first library branches built to be fully accessible to wheelchair users. Inside these walls, you’ll find more than just books. Kips Bay Library hosts a variety of programs for all ages. Kids aged 4 to 12 can unleash their inner gamer at the Wii Games program. Teens can find their community at the Teen Summer Library Club. They gather to discuss books, play games, and enjoy movies. Kips Bay Library isn’t just a repository of knowledge. It’s a vibrant community hub, a place where technology meets tradition. It’s a testament to the enduring legacy of Jacobus Kip, whose name now graces a space dedicated to learning and connection.
