Through the new initiative, patrons may visit, at no cost, 46 of the citys 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. 5.Our Streets, Our Stories: Oral history project chronicling decades of transformation in neighborhoods throughout Brooklyn. 6.PowerUP: Kreyol, a business plan competition for members of the Haitian-Kreyol community modeled on the PowerUP competition that has helped launch more than 2100 Brooklyn businesses since its founding in 2003. 7.Todays Teens, Tomorrows Techies: Teaches digital skills to students 14 to 18 and prepares them to serve on BPLs volunteer team, where they help patrons make use of the Librarys 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 January 10, 2018, 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, artist, 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 citys correctional and shelter systems. Through a partnership with the Mayors 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 departments 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 FY2018 1,889 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 throuh 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 29 initiatives funded by incubator, 4,644 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.

| Explanation | The 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 to 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 |

| SCHEDULE D, PART III- LINE A | THE LIBRARY HAS COLLECTIONS OF NON-CIRCULATING LIBRARY MATERIALS, INCLUDING BOOKS, PERIODICALS AND OTHER ITEMS. THESE COLLECTIONS ARE MAINTAINED BY THE LIBRARY UNDER CURATORIAL CARE AND ARE HELD FOR RESEARCH, EDUCATION AND PUBLIC EXHIBITION IN FURTHERANCE OF PUBLIC SERVICE. PROCEEDS FROM THE SALES OF COLLECTIONS ARE USED TO ACQUIRE OTHER ITEMS FOR COLLECTIONS. THE COST OF COLLECTIONS PURCHASED BY THE LIBARY IS EXPENSED IN THE YEAR OF PURCHASE. THE VALUE OF THE LIBRARY'S COLLECTIONS, FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENT PURPOSES, CANNOT BE DETERMINED. THE COST OF CIRCULATING BOOKS AND OTHER LIBRARY MATERIALS ARE NOT RECORDED AS COLLECTIONS, BUT ARE RECORDED AS AN EXPENSE IN THE YEAR PURCHASED, AS THE USEFUL LIVES OF SUCH ITEMS ARE RELATIVELY SHORT. |
| SCHEDULE D, PART III - LINE 4 | Brooklyn Public Library owns and has made accessible several important special collections that include the Hunt Collection of Childrens Literature 7000 juvenile books dating back to the mid-18th century; the Civil War Collection a 6000 volume collection purchased in 1908; and a circulating orchestral score collection. Moreover, the Librarys local history unit, the Brooklyn Collection, maintains numerous important collections, none more important that the entire Brooklyn Daily Eagle photography archives: over 200,000 images of newsworthy local, national, and international events. The Brooklyn Collections general photography collection comprise 19th and 20th century photographs, photogravures, portfolios, photo albums, stereo views, and cyanotypes. The collection includes photographs taken by well-known photographers such as Berenice Abbott, Alvin Langdon Coburn, Thomas Roma, Alfred Stieglitz, Irving Underhill, and Underhill and Underhill. In addition, the Brooklyn Collection maintains a number of smaller collections, including some ephemeral collections such as the Brooklyn Dodgers memorabilia collection. The Librarys special collections further its exempt purpose in that they provide the people of Brooklyn free and open access to a well-preserved record of societys knowledge, history, and culture. |
| SCHEDULE D, PART V - LINE 4 | THE INTENDED USES OF THE ENDOWMENT FUNDS ARE AS FOLLOWS: 1. Books - Income from these endowments are to be used to buy books that further the mission of the Library 2. Branch Humanities Programs 3. Staff Welfare 4. Youth and Children's program 5. Willendorf Lecture series 6. Plaza and Auditorium capital campaign 7. The upkeep of technology equipment and ongoing maintenance of the Central Library Information Commons |
| SCHEDULE D, PART X - LINE 2 | The 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. |
| SCHEDULE D, PART XII, LINE 2D | THE $3,799,502 INCLUDED IN EXPENSES FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT PURPOSES BUT TREATED AS OTHER RECONCILING ITEMS TO THE NET ASSETS FOR TAX RETURN PURPOSE INCLUDE LOSSES ON DISPOSAL OF PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT OF $354,205 AND REIMBURSABLE CAPITAL GRANT TOWARDS THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE NEW GREENPOINT LIBRARY AND ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION CENTER IN THE AMOUNT OF $3,445,297. |
