Pratt Institute Libraries is the academic library system of Pratt Institute. The main library is located on the main campus in Brooklyn, NY, with a branch library in Manhattan. The collection focus includes the arts, architecture, design, information science and allied fields. Holdings include 200,000 printed volumes, over 600 periodicals, rare books, and the institute’s archives.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://library.pratt.edu/about/brooklyn_campus/#About )〕 It has the distinction of being the “first free public library in Brooklyn” and has a landmark designation for the building in Brooklyn. ==History== The library at Pratt Institute opened in 1888 in the Main Building on Pratt’s campus in the Clinton Hill neighborhood of Brooklyn. The library moved into a new building located on Ryerson Street in May 1896.〔 Originally called the Pratt Institute Free Library, it was open to anyone who lived or worked in Brooklyn.〔 Branch libraries of the Pratt Institute Free Library included the Astral Branch—located on the ground floor of the Astral Apartments (another Charles Pratt initiative), and the Long Island Branch on 571 Atlantic Ave.〔Ostrander, Stephen M. (1894). (''A History of the City of Brooklyn and Kings County'', Volume II ). Brooklyn, NY: Subscription.〕 By 1940 the Pratt Libraries closed to the public, partly because the Brooklyn Public Library was able to support the needs of the community.
