Cortelyou Library, Brooklyn Public Library branch in Flatbush, United States.
The Cortelyou Library building features two side wings forming right angles to the main entrance, with a triangular blue mural decorating its exterior.
The library opened its doors in 1983 following fourteen years of planning and dedicated efforts from Flatbush community residents.
The branch maintains collections in multiple languages, including Bengali fiction, Pakistani music, Russian poetry, and West Indian literature for the neighborhood.
