Teachers and Community Leaders!

  • In June library staff visit schools, child care centers and community groups to bring booklists and other giveaways. We give entertaining booktalks, read stories, and tell students about our free summer activities and the Summer Reading website, www.summerreading.org. Please contact your local neighborhood library or write us at classvisits@brooklynpubliclibrary.org to schedule a visit.
  • The NYC Summer Reading booklists are chosen by librarians from the three public library systems and the Dept of Ed's School Library System. Your students will have a better chance of finding these books on the shelf because we have chosen books with many copies available.
  • When you recommend other Summer Reading books to your students, be sure that there are enough copies available in the public library. Check the Brooklyn Public Library catalog first at http://brooklyn.bibliocommons.com/.
