Please congratulate the following branches for their winning Summer Reading Book Displays.
Central Library, Info CommonsCentral Library, Info Commons - Brooklyn Public Library has always been a wonderful place for people to come, work, and find the resources they need. As BPL celebrates its 125th year, the Central Library's Info Commons -- the department without books but with lots of tech -- wants to acknowledge how important digital technology has become today. With high need for tools both practical and creative, we are a crucial resource. Our display uses upcycled tech that at one point helped a Brooklynite in need.
Bushwick LibraryBushwick - This display is all about BPL's 125th birthday and how everyone is invited join us for the celebration!
Windsor Terrace LibraryWindsor Terrace - To celebrate 125 years of BPL we made a giant cake to feed all of Brooklyn! We decorated it with some of our favorite books set in and about Brooklyn, birthdays, and celebrations.
Kensington LibraryKensington - Kensington is proud to host BPL's 125th birthday bash. We have decorations, birthday cards, balloons & decadent 'cake'. While enjoying 'cake', patrons can reminisce about all the fun times at Kensington & around Brooklyn (thanks to the CBH's photo archive) looking at pictures that span 70 years. We highlighted books related to libraries & birthdays. This is an evolving display. Children will continue to sign our giant birthday card with well wishes & greetings for BPL on its special birthday.
Stone Avenue LibraryStone Avenue - We wanted to show our joy and appreciation on BPL reaching a huge milestone in it's service to the people of Brooklyn. The cake symbolize the excitement we, as staff feel as a part of this great organization, and the pride we have in sharing 125 years with the people of Brooklyn.
Highlawn LibraryHighlawn - In celebration of Brooklyn Public Library's 125th birthday, Highlawn branch has turned our front desk into a cake--featuring candles, sprinkles, BPL-blue frosting, and of course plenty of birthday books of all kinds! We've also made a birthday-themed photo board, so everyone's invited to be part of the festivities!
Williamsburgh LibraryWilliamsburgh - The Williamsburgh Library display portrays a lovely, colorful birthday cake. The numbers 1, 2, and 5 were made using folded book art. The garland features images of BPL library cards going back to the 1950's. Finally, we prepared special birthday grab and go gift bags for our patrons. As we look back and celebrate, we are also looking forward to the next 125 years of BPL's story!
