There are amazing things happening at the Lab and within the community! A few weeks ago we were invited to participate in a community mural project led by two community visionaries, Annie and Hanna. As an added bonus, the mural was being put together in the Lab basement!

The progression from idea to concept has bee amazing to witness! You can get a sneak peek into the project on their Instagram page.

After weeks of hard work, the mural is ready to be unveiled!

We would love to invite you to the Flatbush Faces and Voices mural unveiling celebration on Sunday, August 7th, 2022 at 3 pm. 724 Flatbush (around the corner from Duane Reade)

Feel free to invite your family and friends to celebrate with us!

It began with a simple request early on during the NYC lockdown. We needed books for the children in our community. The Brooklyn Book Bodega immediately responded to our request by dropping off the first 750 books to the Lab.

Since then, we've distributed books bundles, hosted book shopping times, community book swaps (and even a food drive!), and now there's a Little Free Library fully stocked for the readers in our community and available 24-7. This has all been possible thanks to the generous, ongoing support of the Brooklyn Book Bodega.

We look forward to seeing you on Thursday, June 3rd from 10am to 12pm for the Summer Reading Book Swap! We have board books, early readers, chapter books, picture books, young adult novels, and more! You can also donate your gently used children's books.

This event is made possible thanks to the generous, ongoing support of the Brooklyn Book Bodega. You can support their mission with a tax deductible donation.
