New York Public Library Hudson Park Branch

January 24, 1906 - present

The New York Public Hudson Park was founded on January 24th, 1906, and was the 16th branch of the New York Public Library to open in the city. The funds to open the library were donated by Andrew Carnegie. The library had a plethora of resources both for children and adults. One of the unique features of Hudson Park library is the gallery inside of the building. It is referred to as “The Little Gallery,” and has served as a pillar of Greenwich Villages neighborhood artistic history. This provided opportunities for adults and children to explore art forms both in their neighborhood and of other art throughout NYC. After roughly twenty years of being open, the Hudson Park Library added an addition to the building opening an entrance on South Seventh Street.
