Countee Cullen Library is temporarily closed to facilitate building improvements. To accommodate patrons, NYPL is temporarily offering limited branch library services next door at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture (515 Malcolm X Blvd). 

Pop-up service will be open 11 AM–5:45 PM, Tuesday–Saturday. Countee Cullen patrons can place holds, browse books, and use laptops and public seating in the Schomburg Center’s Exhibition Gallery. Holds can be picked up in the Exhibition Gallery by selecting “Countee Cullen Pop-Up” as the pick-up location.
