Welcome to the Libraries at Brooklyn Friends School

The mission of the libraries at Brooklyn Friends School is to ensure that students become effective users of ideas and information and lifelong readers. This is accomplished by providing relevant resources, current technology and programming that integrates curriculum, research skills, and information literacy. By selecting and promoting quality literature we encourage our students to read for pleasure as well as become critical thinkers.

We hope you'll take a moment to peruse what we have to offer our students by using the navigation buttons to the left. We look forward to seeing you in the library! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact a librarian for help.
