New Lots Library Redesign Honors African Burial Ground, Community Legacy
Briefly

"The plans unveiled today represent a new chapter for not only New Lots Library, but for all of East New York. The library will serve as a community space for remembrance and reconciliation, and, of course, provide the neighborhood with books that inspire compassion and curiosity," said Linda E. Johnson, president and chief executive officer of the Brooklyn Public Library.
"I deeply understand the vital role this institution plays in our community, and I am excited about the new and improved library coming to New Lots Avenue. In my role as Council Member, I've made it a priority to fight against cuts to our libraries, both financially and in terms of resources," said Council Member Chris Banks.
