Business & Career Services at BPL are for entrepreneurs, freelancers, job seekers and anyone seeking a secure financial future. Our services are designed to help you expand your horizons with workshops and programs, research emerging trends and market opportunities, learn marketable skills and digital tools, discover your career path or master your finances. Knowledgeable staff are available to answer your questions and assist you with research.

Located on the second floor of Central Library, the Business & Career Center (B&CC) is a hub for learning and innovation in Brooklyn and features a coworking area, laptops for loan, access to online resources and books on business, careers and personal finance.

In the B&CC you can borrow a laptop using your BPL library card. We also have conversation booths and meeting rooms which may be reserved for meetings, working, conducting job interviews, and more. Get details about meeting room policies or make reservations here.
