DescCentral Library is the largest public library in Brooklyn. At 352,000 square feet, the building accounts for one-third of Brooklyn Public Librarys total physical plant. In 2016, we celebrated the 75th anniversary of Centrals opening with exhibitions, public tours, a digital story collection, and various community programs. Central provides traditional library services, including a collection of more than 900,000 materials in wings dedicated to fiction, history, science and technology, childrens and young adult literature, and the arts. The Brooklyn Collection, BPLs 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 2016, Central Library tallied more than 1.3 million visits and hosted some 12,000 programs that were attended by approximately 130,000 people. Nearly 400,000 patrons checked out a book, signed onto a computer or used a printer or copier. Just over one-third of those patrons came from the zip codes surrounding Central; the rest, approximately 63%, came from beyond the immediate area. In this sense, Central is the "home" library for Brooklynites from every neighborhood.Desc

DescAs of Fiscal Year 2016, Brooklyn Public Librarys collection held more than 4 million print and digital materials, and its branches hosted 65,000 programs attended by nearly one million people. BPLs circulation, including print and electronic media, totaled 14.9 million. The Library hosted 2.1 million computer sessions on approximately 1,600 devices in FY16, with patrons logging on for more than 500,000 wi-fi sessions. More than 2,000 volunteers provided a total of 85,000 hours of service to BPL, and our branches hosted a total of 7.4 million visits, as measured by door count. Every Brooklyn Public Library location is open at least six days per week, and the average branch is open approximately 48 hours per week. More than half of Brooklyns 2.6 million residents live within a mile of a BPL branch. The branches provide a wide and diverse range of services too numerous to fully recount here. Our 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, BPLs borough-wide effort to promote recreational reading while school is out of session.Desc

DescBPL has programs for people from every walk of life. In addition to the branch programs described above, BPL hosts adult literacy classes, Teen Tech Time and homework help sessions, citizenship and HSE test preparation, career and business development resources, free cultural events, and much more. New programs developed by BPL in FY16 included the Bklyn Incubator, which 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. Incubator-funded projects include an effort to prepare more girls and young women for careers in journalism, a food justice initiative in Brownsville, a "changing habits" literacy development program in East New York, and an oral history podcasting class at Central Library. A representative sample of our special programs: *BookMatch - Provides payrons with reading lists specially curated for them by BPL librarians. *Brooklyn Connections - History program for elementary, middle and high school students, focusing on primary and secondary document research skills and analysis. *Brooklyn Cultural Adventures Program - Award-winning summer day camp for children 7-12, providing cultural immersion at BPL, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Children's Museum, Prospect Park, and Prospect Park Zoo. *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 200 Brooklyn businesses since its founding in 2003. *Today's teens, Tomorrow's 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 Librarys 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. 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, received funding in FY16 to expand services to 12 locations. The new TeleStory branches are located in neighborhoods with particularly high rates of incarceration. The Outreach team worked in FY16 to expand Brooklyn Public Librarys service to non-native English speakers. BPL became the first library system in New York City to offer free interpretation services via telephone in November 2015. With Language Line now available in every branch, staff can communicate with patrons in over 100 languages. We also purchased new ESOL materials and citizenship books for BPLs New Americans Corners, which offer multilingual resources-including naturalization test study aids and information on city, library, and legal services-in easily accessible, heavily trafficked areas of every public library in Brooklyn. We are pleased to report that thanks in large part to the innovative work of our Outreach Services team, Brooklyn Public Library was awarded the Institute of Museum and Library Services National Medal in FY16, the nations highest honor for libraries.Desc

ExplanationThe Librarys lobbying consists of coordinated effort 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, member 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

Part III - QUESTION 1ATHE 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.
PART III - QUESTION 4Brooklyn Public Library owns and has made accessible several important special collections that include the Hunt Collection of Children's 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 collections. Moreover, the Library's local history unit, the Brooklyn Collection, maintains numerous important collections, none more important than the entire Brooklyn Daily Eagle photography archives: over 200,000 images of newsworthy local, national, and international events. The Brooklyn Collection's 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 Library's special collections further its exempt purpose in that they provide the people of Brooklyn free and open access to a well-preserved record of society's knowledge, history, and culture.
PART V - question 4THE 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
PART X - question 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. However, management beleives ASC Topic 740 has not had, and is not anticipated to have, a material impact on the Library's financial statements.

By virtue of their respective offices, the Mayor of the City of New York, the Comptroller of the City of New York, the Speaker of the City Council of the City of New York and the President of the Borough of Brooklyn are Ex-Officio Trustees of the Library. Each Ex-Officio may appoint a representative to serve on his or her behalf as a member of the board.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11AThe Form 990 is prepared by management, with the assistance of our auditors, EisnerAmper LLP. Once a final draft of the Form 990 is received from the external auditors, the Vice President of Finance conducts a first level review with the Executive Vice President for Finance and Administration and Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Pending any amendments or corrections, the CFO and Vice President of Finance then reviews the draft returns with the President and CEO. The draft Form 990 is then forwarded to the members of Audit and Finance Committees in preparation for formal review at a joint meeting of the Audit and Finance Committees attended by the external auditors, senior members of the Librarys executive team along with the CFO and Vice President of Finance. At this meeting, staff reviews the reports with the attendees. Questions are fielded and if necessary, corrections are made.
