Voces Ciudadanas led the Coalition for Community Space. Launched in 2022, the Coalition worked to keep and reimagine the Sunset Park Interim library space as a community led space with community resources. In late 2023, the Sunset Park branch of the Brooklyn Public Library moved back to a renovated home on 51st Street and 4th avenue, providing an opportunity for community members and organizations to rethink the over 20,000 square foot space as a multigenerational and multiuse hub.
Voces Ciudadanas engaged 3,000 residents to gather ideas to create a community vision for the interim library. We partnered with the Parsons School of Design to put together a proposal that included the voices of Sunset Park residents.
