About New & Noteworthy
Are you ready to read? This space is designed as a gateway to literary discovery. The New & Noteworthy room offers reading nooks, vinyl records and a rotating collection curated by BPL librarians. New & Noteworthy features new books you may have missed, staff picks, great books for your book club, BPL Book Prize titles and seasonal reads, among others. The reimagined New & Noteworthy section is made possible through the generosity of Susan and David Marcinek.
Vinyl Records
BPL teen and adult card holders can check out up to 3 vinyl records at a time from our new vinyl collection. See additional information here.
New & Noteworthy Collection information
The New & Noteworthy collection is a bit different than other collections at Brooklyn Public Library. This collection is a "Lucky Day" model. What does that mean for you?
- Books can be checked out for 21 days
- Books are not holdable
- Books are not renewable
- If you find a book in New & Noteworthy, it's available for immediate check out, even if there are holds on other copies
- Books not returned after 21-days are treated like all other library materials
- Lost or damaged New & Noteworthy books are treated like all other library materials
- There are no limits to the number of New & Noteworthy books you can check out, but they do count against the total number of checkouts allowed
