2007 Gala Photos

The 11th Annual Gala took place on Thursday, November 8, 2007. Over 400 people attended this exceptional evening to celebrate the services that the Library offers our borough's 2.5 million residents. This year's Honorees were:

Jane Brody, author and the New York Times' personal health columnist

Jacqueline Woodson, award-winning author of books for children and young adults

Dolly Williams, owner of A. Williams Construction

In total, our generous donors raised an incredible $370,000!

Brooklyn Public Library would like to thank all of the 11th Annual Gala contributors for their support of the Library and the Brooklyn Community.
