The Brooklyn Branch serves two main roles in the Brooklyn Community. There is a literacy focus supplying materials to families, adult learners, school-aged children and very young children. The Brooklyn Branch is also a community information resource center. Parents may borrow toys for their children ages 5 and under with an adult card. Baby Book Dedication - A new Children's book is dedicated to each new baby under one year old in the community.
Parents fill out a registration card.
The baby's name and birthdate are put on a bookplate in front of the new book. Parents borrow the book and when it is returned, the book is added to the children's collection. Parents receive a list of parenting books, and simple rhymes and boardbooks for babies. Brooklyn Reads - Parents are invited to pick up a FREE coupon activity book.
