The main branch of the Brooklyn Public Library and one of the largest library branches in the entire city, this massive library even has a restaurant on the third floor and is home to the world-renowned Brooklyn Collection of manuscripts, books, maps, and other historical documents regarding the borough. The building itself has stood at Grand Army Plaza since 1941, when it was conceived and constructed to resemble an open book.
