Library (Sesame Street)

The first Sesame Street Library was located on Sesame Street next to Hooper's Store, in the spot that has since housed the Fix-It Shop and Mail-It Shop. There were books both indoors and outdoors, and there was also a large children's section. All the residents of Sesame Street would come to borrow books. Maria worked there as a part-time job when she was still in school, while Grover would often come and help out.

Later, when the Fix It Shop came along, the library shifted to other locations in New York City, such as the one Linda worked in, and libraries which were some distance from the street and recquired a certain amount of traveling, as seen in several books.

In 2004, the Sesame Street Library was imortalized in board game form as the replacement for States Avenue in a Sesame Street edition of Monopoly.
