Kings Bay Library First opened in 1951 in a Nostrand Avenue storefront, Kings Bay Library resides within a micro-neighborhood in the Sheepshead Bay area.

The Kings Bay Library is a welcoming and inclusive space for all, looking forward to serving all the residents of the micro-neighborhood in the Sheepshead Bay area and beyond. In 1959, the branch moved across the street to its current, larger home.
