$500,000

In a year where we are facing a potential budget cut that could devastate our ability to provide Brooklynites with the books, DVDs and other materials they need, we need your help more than ever.

From March 1 through July 5, please donate to your local library or any branch you choose in the amount that is best for you. Every donation, from one dollar to a thousand dollars, counts. And each donation helps us reach our goal of $500,000.

I believe in the Brooklyn Public Library and it is much more than a place to simply borrow books. They offer a multitude of free resources...read the full quote » like audio books, CDs, and DVDs for people who may learn more effectively from, or better enjoy listening to, spoken information rather than reading printed text. It is important that these resources continue to be available at the Library so I encourage everyone to make a donation, big or small, to the Support Our Shelves campaign which will go to purchasing these important materials that are so invaluable to the community.
