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.

  • 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
