about Brooklyn Public Library: Central Library:

The winner of our 2008 Parents' Picks quest to find the Best Library for Little Kids, Big Kids, and Teens in Brooklyn, the Central Library is the major reference center for the 60-library Brooklyn Public Library System.

Opened on February 1, 1941, the Central Library resembles an open book, its spine on Grand Army Plaza and the building's two wings opening like pages onto Eastern Parkway and Flatbush Avenue.

Free internet access is offered throughout the building.

BPL's Kidsmobile is a children's library-on-wheels with over 2,000 books and special programs visiting Brooklyn neighborhoods. For additional information, call 718.253.4567.
