The Brooklyn Eagles are a vibrant group of young and engaged Brooklynites who are passionate about Brooklyn Public Library (BPL) and their community. We host events to connect new patrons to the Library, discuss great reads at our monthly book club, volunteer at branches and spread the word about BPL’s essential services for our borough.
