About this Library


Whitney Young Branch opened in 1973, replacing two storefronts which opened in 1927 at 824-26 East 79th Street.   The branch, formerly named the Chatham Branch for the community in which it is located, was renamed in honor of Whitney M. Young Jr., the Executive Director of the National Urban League and a leader in civil rights and community development.  The building was designed by architect Hay Carow.
