Bay Shore Neighborhood Library
Bay Shore Neighborhood Library was first established in a room at 194 Corona Avenue in September 1929. After relocating several times to larger buildings in the neighborhood, the branch ultimately moved to its present location in 1940. The current 6,900-square-foot building opened on April 24, 1959. Noted artist and children’s book author Taro Yashima agreed to contribute art for the library, and his five-painting series “Young Lives Under the Sun” remains on display in the Children’s area.
