The New York Liberty, the defending WNBA Champions, is teaming up with Brooklyn Public Library (BPL) to provide 100,000 special edition library cards featuring mascot Ellie the Elephant. This partnership launches on June 2, aimed at supporting the library’s summer reading initiatives. Highlights of this collaboration include themed activities during the June 1 Liberty game and BPL's extensive offering of summer programs. In recognition of this partnership, Liberty CEO Keia Clarke will receive the BPL Gala Award on June 11, showcasing efforts to strengthen community ties through reading and basketball.
Brooklyn Public Library is thrilled to partner with the 2024 WNBA Champions New York Liberty, their mascot Ellie the Elephant, and Brooklyn Basketball. Together, we share a passion for this great borough and look forward to welcoming new card holders to the library this summer to read and learn and discover.
The Liberty and BPL will partner through Brooklyn Basketball to support the library's summer reading programming, fostering a community-centered vision that intertwines sports and education.
During the game, the arena will host book-themed activities, such as a BPL bookmobile on the plaza and a photobooth where fans can pick up Ellie-themed bookmarks.
The Gala is BPL's signature fundraising event, bringing together civic leaders, authors, artists and library supporters to celebrate the power of libraries to strengthen communities.
