Even on a Friday morning, the Macon branch of the Brooklyn Public Library in Bedford-Stuyvesant was buzzing: Every computer was being used, laptops had been lent out, patrons were asking for résumé advice and more than a few people were reading actual books.

To accommodate that busyness, which borough librarians say is common to all 60 branches, the borough’s library system will be adding more hours, librarians and other staff members starting Oct. 4, a result of an additional $2.8 million for 2015 from the City Council and Mayor Bill de Blasio’s office.

“When we knew that we were getting more money, it wasn’t difficult to decide what to do with it,” said Linda Johnson, president of the Brooklyn Public Library. “We are always looking to have more hours for working families and for the communities that rely on us.”

Beginning next month, all 60 of the library’s branches will be open for an average of 45 hours a week, an overall increase of 200 hours. The library system is also expanding the number of branches that will be open six or seven days a week, to 41 from 25.
