Book a Librarian Request

Need research support? Try Brooklyn Public Library’s free service, Book A Librarian. Complete the form below and a BPL librarian will create a customized list of resources for you to explore.

The more information you can provide to us, the better recommendations we can offer! Each question is answered personally by a librarian, and someone will contact you within 2-3 days to confirm your research needs. After receiving your resource list, you'll also have the option to book a 30 min virtual followup session to receive additional research support.

For out-of-state requests, note that our librarians may be using a database that is only available to BPL library card holders. We recommend you speak with your local library to see what resources you have locally.

Teachers who want to make an appointment to bring their classes to visit their local branch or Central Library may visit our Class Visits page for more information
