Dating back to the 1930s, the library sits in the heart of Kensington adjacent to a City park with benches, a big grassy area and a playground for young children. The library holds many programs in the park, including baby-toddler story times and musical events. In 1962, the library building was remodeled and expanded, but at 2,300 square feet, it is the smallest of all the City libraries. Without a dedicated parking lot, patrons often walk or bike to the library.
