Remember the magic of discovering your favorite book? Of meeting the character who could fly, slay the dragon, or solve the mystery? Please join us for "The Magic of Childhood," an evening to celebrate the joys of storytelling and imagination—and to recognize the special power reading has to open our world.

All proceeds from the 13th Annual Gala will go toward children's literacy programs and materials at Brooklyn Public Library in recognition of the important role reading continues to play in the lives of children today.

Evening Highlights

• Sneak preview of the exhibition, Sesame Street: A Celebration of 40 Years of Life on the Street


• Silent & live auctions - Brooklyn Public Library offers close to 100 interesting and unique items, ranging from dining and entertainment packages to sports items to unique excursions throughout the city. Be on the look out for our silent auction preview.


• Live Entertainment
