Free Books!
If you’re looking for something to read, why don’t you check out our cart of free books? The cart can currently be found outside of the entrance to the library (it has a sign saying “free books”) and has a great assortment of novels and non-fiction for your enjoyment. Take a book home today!
Update
New books have just been placed outside. Come check them out!
Brooklyn Book Festival this Sunday!
What are you doing this Sunday? Many of you may be aware that the Brooklyn Book Festival, a festival celebrating the work of writers and publishers from Brooklyn and beyond is taking place this weekend. Check out the festival schedule for a full list of events.
Graphic Novels at the Library
Are you interested in visual storytelling, pop culture or illustration?
You’re in luck! The Ursula C. Schwerin Library has a great collection of graphic novels, many of which are currently featured in this month’s bookshelf display (look for it on the shelves that curve around the library staircase).
If you are a fan of graphic novels and want to find more, you can use CUNY+ to find Graphic Novels or Comic Books in libraries across CUNY.
If you find that you are interested in the origins of the graphic novel, you might be pleased to know that there are lots of comics in the public domain, and many can be viewed electronically or downloaded to a computer or e-reader. <a href="Sites of interest include The Digital Comics Museum and Golden Age Comics Online are both great sites to explore.
Free Copies of One Story Tomorrow!
Do you need something to read? You’re in luck!
On Tuesday, September 7th from 7:30-8:30 am, staff and volunteers from One Story, a Brooklyn-based literary magazine will be starting the Brooklyn Book Festival a little early by distributing free copies of the magazine in subway stations across Brooklyn. You can find Professor Bronwen Densmore from the library giving out free copies of the magazine at the Jay Street/Borough Hall station, so stop by if you’d like to snag one for yourself and say hello.
UPDATE!
Did you miss your chance to pick up a FREE story? Never fear, there are a few extra copies of One Story available at the reference desk for anyone who is interested, (just come by the library and pick one up, supplies limited) and you can always look for the authors and publishers of One Story and many other Brooklyn-based writers and publishers at the Brooklyn Book Festival this weekend.
September is Library Card Sign-up Month!
September just happens to be Library Card Sign Up Month, so if you’ve been waiting to activate your City Tech card, or have been meaning to sign up for a card with the Brooklyn Public Library, September is a great time to dive in.
You may already be familiar with our databases and online resources, and know that CLICS is a great way to borrow from other CUNY libraries, but did you know you also have access to academic libraries across the region?
Don’t forget that the public libraries can also provide you with access to lots of great resources, including databases, online journals and e-books. If you’re not already familiar with them, we encourage you to explore the collections available to you through the Brooklyn Public Library and the NYPL.
