Biography
The Morningside Heights Branch of The New York Public Library is located on Broadway at the corner of 113th Street. The present building, opened in 2001, also includes a Columbia University dormitory and a retail shop. Formerly known as the Columbia Branch, the library has served the Morningside Heights area of Manhattan since 1914 when it opened in Columbia University's Low Library as a recreational collection for students and faculty. When the new Butler Library opened in 1937 it included a room designed for the Columbia Branch. In 1996, the branch moved to a temporary location on 113th Street to accommodate renovations at Butler Library.
