The New York Liberty, WNBA champions, are teaming up with Brooklyn Public Library to promote reading among youth by issuing 100,000 special edition library cards. This collaboration, starting June 2, will support summer reading initiatives and includes a celebration of the mascot Ellie the Elephant's birthday at a Liberty game. Activities will feature book-themed events, and a QR code linking to a curated reading list. The Liberty’s CEO will receive the Brooklyn Public Library Gala Award, highlighting the importance of libraries in community engagement and youth education.
The Liberty and BPL will partner through Brooklyn Basketball to support the library's summer reading programming. Together, we share a passion for this great borough.
During the game, the arena will host book-themed activities, such as a BPL bookmobile on the plaza and a photo booth where fans can pick up Ellie-themed bookmarks.
