bookmobiles stocked with some 6,000
titles, which will park outside the
dormant branch from 11 am to 4 pm
on Tuesdays and Thursdays throughout
the closure.
Windsor Terrace residents can
alternatively use their library cards
to check out books at other nearby
branches, including the Kensington
Branch at 4207 18th Ave. between
Seton Place and Ocean Parkway, the
Courtelyou Branch at 1305 Courtelyou
Rd. between Argyle and Rugby
roads, and the Flatbush Branch at 22
Linden Blvd. between Flatbush and
Bedford avenues.
The forthcoming closure comes a
little more than a year after the Windsor
Terrace branch shuttered for
roughly a month back in March 2017
during the installation of the reading
room’s so-called living roof , which is
planted with ornamental grasses that
help cool the library in the summer
and insulate it in the winter, according
to chief book lenders, and cost
taxpayers $250,000.
Bodenheimer couldn’t immediately
provide a price tag for the looming
renovations, which should wrap
sometime in the early half of 2020
should the work stick to its planned
timeline.

“So ‘Gowanus Black’
is a color? As in mayonnaise?”
tweeted locals
Jamie Courville and
Chris Reynolds, who together
are working on
a documentary about
the long-time industrial
neighborhood that the
city wants to upzone to
make way for more residential
buildings.
One of the Calvin
Klein garments cut in
Gowanus Black cloth,
the so-called men’s Foundation
Trucker Jacket,
was nearly sold out by
press time, with just one
of the cotton-denim-andpolyester
coats emblazoned
with a black-andwhite
fl ag on the back
available for $76.
But a second Graphic
Denim Trucker jacket
for women, featuring a
“modern graphic logo”
in red stitching on the
front, is still available
in spades in Gowanus
Black, according to Calvin
Klein’s website,
which shows the piece
stocked in sizes from extra
STYLISH: Calvin Klein is making its Foundation Trucker
Jacket in a color called “Gowanus Black.” Calvin Klein
small to extra large
for $69.99.
The women’s jacket
also comes in a color inexplicably
named “ Gowanus
White ” — which
this newspaper speculates
is a reference to the
recent announcement
that part of the fi lthy canal
is the cleanest it has
been in more than a century,
thanks to a recently
completed dredging-andcapping
program the
Feds conducted in the
Fourth Street Turning
Basin as part of the Superfund
site’s cleanup.
Calvin Klein reps did
not immediately respond
to questions about the
origins of the Gowanus
black and white colors,
when the jackets fi rst
hit shelves, and whether
they are sold exclusively
online or in stores.
