About

 

If the video above doesn't contain enough info (wow, you are picky!) here's some history for you. The Brooklyn Library was established in the 1950s.

We are able to operate thanks to many generous donations!

Aka Keeper of all knowledge Aka O Captain my Librarian Captain

Josh has been spearheading the library for years. He received the Spirit of Giving award from the Greater Poweshiek Community Foundation in 2023. He's a proud father of four and a native Brooklynite who is also involved in the community with the Brooklyn Opera House (as a playwright, actor, and director) and is pastor of New Beginnings Church. In his free time (what's that, he asks) he plays board games galore. Currently, his favorite book is unknown.
