Investment in Education

Over the years, the branch has invested in education by creating an education center for youth and adults, engaged in adult literacy programs at local libraries and providing financial support to school programs and other like organizations.

The Brooklyn Branch began its partnership with PS 262 in November of 2023, starting with engaging in its literacy program by reading to the students on a monthly basis during the mornings in person or in the evenings via Zoom. 

Since then we have donated Thanksgiving baskets, food items, books, school supplies, testing day goodie bags, and toys for their annual holiday Toy Drive.  We have also participated in the Spelling Bee, and Graduation programs. 

PS 262 is located in the Bedford Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn and is under the dynamic leadership of Principal Desiree Barter.
