What's Open and Closed This Christmas
Your guide to what's open and closed this holiday.
We like to think we have it all wrapped up come Christmas Day, but sometimes we need that last-minute item, bottle of wine or hostess gift.
Here is a list of what is open and closed this Christmas in Carroll Gardens:
- All branches of the Brooklyn Public Library are closed on Christmas
- There is no garbage or recycling pick-up. Garbage will be picked up Thursday morning and recyclables will be collected next week for those whose normal garbage day is Wednesday.
- All government offices, courts are closed and there is no mail delivery.
- Public schools are closed through Jan. 1.
