Brooklyn Public Library depends upon individual private support to continue providing quality materials and services to the entire population of Brooklyn.

It's easy to donate online today. Below is a list of benefits that you will receive as our way of saying thank you for your support. If you would like to donate through the mail, please print out the mail-in form and send it to us at Brooklyn Public Library, Development Department, 10 Grand Army Plaza, Brooklyn, NY 11238.
