  Fort Hamilton Closing Information

  Brooklyn Public Library closed the Fort Hamilton Library in March 2008 for a much-needed interior and exterior rehabilitation and expansion. At that time, we expected to reopen in Spring 2010.
  
  Regrettably, the reopening has been delayed until Fall 2010 due to unexpected field conditions (including a termite-damaged wood floor and a severely deteriorated slate roof) and this past summer and fall's unusually wet weather.
  
  BPL appreciates our customers' patience and understanding as we work to complete this important project as quickly as possible. We will provide an update on the status of the work at the end of March 2010 (or sooner).
