architecture & design branch design workshop Civic Engagement


In 2019, Brooklyn Public Library began a series of community engagement workshops to reimagine New Lots Library. Your feedback influenced this design: the new designs honor the once unacknowledged African Burial Ground and celebrate African-American heritage.

 
Join us for a community celebration to see the new design for New Lots:
  • Celebrate East New York!
  • Meet the architects, see the new designs, and share your input. Design presentation starts at 12:30pm.
  • Have Your Family's Photo Taken In Time for the Holidays and get a free digital copy.
  • Share your New Lots story! Bring a photo, artwork or paper-based memory for the Center for Brooklyn History to scan and archive.
The event will go from 11am-3pm and will include:
  • An Honoring of the Burial Ground
  • Live Performances
  • Free Food
  • Art Activities For All Ages

 

RSVP encouraged but not necessary!

 

Across the borough, Brooklyn Public Library is rehabilitating its vital neighborhood libraries with projects ranging from small restorations to full- scale renovations. View the details on the New Lots Library renovation.
