Next week from Monday to Friday we will be hosting a food drive with the Vinegar Hill Food Pantry to help our fellow community members. At the library you can drop off;

• Canned Goods
• Boxed or dry goods
• Fresh Direct Bags

This is great time to drop off any extras from the holidays so they don't sit on your shelves until next year!

Thank you all for your constant support!

Today is . Your support of the Library is more critical than ever: BPL & our fellow NYC libraries recently experienced a painful mid-year city budget cut. Make a gift and champion the Library through your generosity.

Your support helps Brooklyn Public Library provide free access to the books, technology, literacy programs and recreation that so many Brooklynites can't otherwise afford. With your generosity, we can continue to be here for all of Brooklyn.
