Oh, hey there! Tituss Burgess took a break from shooting on location at our Greenpoint Library to recommend James Baldwin's short story collection, Going to Meet the Man. What are you reading, Brooklyn? Take a selfie with a great book 📖 and tag it #checkoutbklyn and we might feature it on our collection (bklynlibrary.org/checkoutbklyn) or on our Tumblr and Instagram accounts!

two picks for #checkoutbklyn #library :D I'm currently devouring The Briefcase by Hiromi Kawakami & just finished The Fever by Megan Abbott which was absolutely phenomenal- I can't recommend it enough, TBH! I love #brooklynpubliclibrary for the amazing amount of books & other resources just available online for out of state folks! In person, I'd probably pass out from the sheer awesomeness!

Lisa Rosenblum, Chief Librarian

"I loved reading the Little House series as a child. Not only do I enjoy historical fiction but I also liked reading about how self reliant the family was, making their own clothing and growing their own food.  In fact as a child I tried making the maple syrup taffy from snow recipe from one of the books.  It didn’t work –but I was amused to discover a number of people who have read the books tried the same thing!"
