DescCentral Library is the largest public library in Brooklyn. At 352,000 square feet, the building accounts for one-third of Brooklyn Public Library's total physical plant. Central provides traditional library services, including a collection of approximately 900,000 materials in wings dedicated to fiction, history, science and technology, children's and young adult literature, and the arts. The Business and Career Center's recent relocation to Central Library has provided patrons with central access to an extensive collection of books, materials and services related to test prep, business and career resources, in addition to financial and college planning. The Brooklyn Collection, Brooklyn Public Library's (BPL's) local history division, provides a wealth of information about the borough, including access to research materials such as the full, digitized 1841-1955 run of The Brooklyn Daily Eagle. Central is also home to the Shelby White and Leon Levy Information Commons, a public technology center and workspace with a reservable recording studio and meeting rooms, sophisticated design software, and a digital training lab for community classes and workshops. In Fiscal Year 2019, Central Library hosted more than 12,000 programs that were attended by approximately 160,000 people and over 1.2 million people walked through Central Library's main doorsDesc

DescNeighborhood libraries: As nearly all of of Brooklyn's 2.6 million residents live within a mile of a library branch, BPL's neighborhood libraries welcomed over 7.5 million visitors in FY19. The library's collection held approximately 3.7 million print and digital materials, which circulated nearly thirteen million times. As the largest provider of free Wi-Fi in Brooklyn, BPL hosted 1.5 million free Wi-Fi sessions in FY19. The Library also hosted 1.5 million computer sessions on approximately 1,600 devices. Approximately 2,000 volunteers provided a total of 94,000 hours of service to BPL. Every Brooklyn Public Library location is open at least six days per week, and the average branch is open approximately 48 hours per week. In FY18, BPL received funding to upgrade the technology offerings in library branches; depending on the individual location's needs, branches received new computers, televisions, cameras, Little Bits kits and more. With increased open hours and additional technological support, branch libraries hosted 72,837 programs that were attended by over one million people. Brooklyn's library branches provide an expansive range of programs and services. The core (and most popular) offerings include First Five Years, a suite of early literacy programs for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers; inclusive play and learning environments for children with disabilities; Creative Aging classes that help seniors learn new skills and express their creativity; digital literacy programs such as basic computer classes and advanced instruction in animation, audio engineering, coding, and more; and Summer Reading, BPL's borough-wide effort to promote recreational reading while school is out of session.Desc

DescSpecial programs: BPL offers programs for people from every walk of life. In addition to the branch programs described above, BPL hosts Teen Tech Time and homework help sessions, citizenship and HSE test preparation, career and business development resources, free cultural events, and much more. A representative sample of our special programs includes: BookMatch - Provides patrons with reading lists specially curated for them by BPL librarians. Bklyn Incubator - supports and funds the development of new initiatives by librarians and staff, with training and mentoring on program design, partnership development, community outreach, and project management. Brooklyn Cultural Adventures Program - Award-winning summer day camp for children 7-12; cultural immersion at BPL, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Children's Museum, Prospect Park, and Prospect Park Zoo. Culture Pass - a library-led, city-wide initiative providing free access to a myriad of cultural institutions across the five boroughs to the millions of library card holders. Through the new initiative, patrons may visit, at no cost, 46 of the city's cultural institutions ranging from the Whitney Museum in Manhattan and the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, to the Noguchi Museum in Queens, Wave Hill in the Bronx, and Historic Richmond Town on Staten Island. Our Streets, Our Stories - Oral history project chronicling decades of transformation in neighborhoods throughout Brooklyn. PowerUP Kreyol - a business plan competition for members of the Haitian-Kreyol community modeled on the PowerUP competition that has helped launch more than 2,100 Brooklyn businesses since its founding in 2003. Today's Teen's, Tomorrow's Techies - Teaches digital skills to students 14 to 18 and prepares them to serve on BPL's volunteer team, where they help patrons make use of the Library's many free technology resources. The Programming and Exhibition Department produces high quality cultural programming to encourage public engagement with the ideas and cultural expressions of our time. On February 2nd, 2019, BPL, in collaboration with the Cultural Services of the French Embassy, hosted "A Night of Philosophy & Ideas," a sunset-to-sunrise event bring philosophers, musicians, artists, and authors from around the world together with the Brooklyn and Greater New York community through a series of conversations and performances. The Outreach Services Department serves Brooklynites with unique and often overlooked needs, including veterans, immigrants, the homebound, and people transitioning into and out of the city's correctional and shelter systems. Through a partnership with the Mayor's Office of Immigrant Affairs (MOIA), BPL continued to host an immigration lawyer to assist patrons with citizenship applications at four library branches. One of the Outreach department's signature programs, TeleStory, which utilizes video conferencing technology to connect incarcerated parents with their children through books and family activities, is now available in more than a dozen BPL locations. The new TeleStory branches are located in neighborhoods with particularly high rates of incarceration. Our Youth and Family Services Department continues to offer innovative programs around STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). During FY 2019 1,570 attendees participated in our Science Baby program, a creative science program for 0-3 year olds. The heart of Science Baby is exploring the wonder of science through story, repetition and play. We explore gravity, motion, magnets, chemical reactions, light, water, bubbles, sound and more. And through our Library Lab program series, a dynamic learning enrichment program for children (ages 6 to 10) and their families, nearly 7,000 patrons received tips on how to use library resources to spark curiosity for STEM through hands-on experiments and how to continue projects at home. In 2015 Brooklyn Public Library launched BKLYN Incubator. The initiative supports innovative programs at the Brooklyn Public Library by providing professional development, mentorship, and resources to staff with innovative ideas. The purpose of BKLYN Incubator is to empower our staff to build public programs and services from the ground up and support ideas that are responsive to community needs. Throughout the 38 initiatives funded by incubator, over 5,000 patrons have attended an Incubator program, 509 programs have been created, and 50 community partners have been involved in supporting and collaborating with incubator initiatives. Librarians of Tomorrow is an innovative, hands-on internship program for 10th-12th grade students from diverse backgrounds with an interest in library careers. In FY19 there were 55 school-year interns who contributed 7,425 volunteer hours, and 15 summer interns who contributed 2009 volunteer hours. The intern languages spoken other than English included Urdu, Bangla, Spanish, Russian, Uzbek, Tajiki, Arabic, Mandarin, Wolof, French, Haitian Creole, Japanese, Italian, Cantonese, Punjabi, Hungarian, Latin, Yoruba, Igbo, and Fujinese.Desc

ExplanationThe Librarys lobbying consists of coordinated efforts at the City, State and Federal levels to portray the Library in the best possible light to ensure continued funding for its operations and programs. The Library lobbies the Executive branch of the State government and individual members of the State senate and assembly to ensure that it gets adequate funding from the State Department of Education, to seek funding for special capital initiatives and for member items for programs at the branch level. In addition, it lobbies the Executive branch of the New York City government, members of the City Council and the New York City Mayors office, to ensure that the Library is adequately funded for its operations and capital projects. The Library hired various consultants to facilitate the grant process with the various government agencies and direct contact with various legislators.ExplanationTxt

In addition, the Brooklyn Collection maintains a number of smaller collections, including some ephemeral collections such as the Brooklyn Dodgers memorabilia collection.

SCHEDULE D, PART X - LINE 2The Library is subject to the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 740, "Income Taxes", relating to accounting and reporting for uncertainty in income taxes. For the Library, ASC Topic 740 is potentially applicable to the incurrence of unrelated business income, attributable to passport services provided to the public. Because the Library has always accrued a tax liability for these items and because of the library's general tax-exempt status, management believes ASC Topic 740 has not had, and is not anticipated to have, a material impact on the Library's financial statements.
