Stand Up for the Branches
Our patrons tell us all the time how much they love their neighborhood libraries, and how much they count on the opportunities they can find inside our doors.

Download our poster templates below and tell us why your neighborhood library matters to you, why you’re standing up for Brooklyn’s libraries. Share them on social media using the hashtag #standupforBKLYN on Twitter, Instagram, or right here on Tumblr so we can retweet and reblog them.

Tell your elected officials that libraries matter, and that it’s time to invest in libraries.
