Nominate A Local Library So It Can Win $10,000

Do you love your local library? Think it could use $10,000 to make it even better? The Charles H. Revson Foundation and The Brian Lehrer Show‘s NYC Neighborhood Library Awards will give $10k to five exceptional branches whose patrons, staff, local elected officials — and anyone else — can share how much their library means to them.

Everyone is welcome to fill out the contest entry form until Monday, July 1. Especially with the proposed 36% budget cuts to libraries this year, the Brooklyn Public Library system could use the support.

The Kensington branch is shiny and new — but perhaps there are still things needed there? The Windsor Terrace branch got support from Participatory Budgeting for new computers, but we’d bet patrons would like to see some additional improvements there, as well. So help give back what your branch has given to you, and let’s see if we can win this thing.
