brooklyn bridge parkThe Uni enjoyed a summer-long residency in Pier Kids events. The residency was made possible by a new reading room kit funded by long-time Uni Project supporters, Leaves of Grass Fund

Thank you to Uni Librarians Emily Jacobson and Stephanie Yee for helping us manage such a bustling location. Staff at Brooklyn Bridge Park were outstanding partners.

Residencies allow us a special opportunity to dig in, test, and refine our approach over multiple visits. What we learned in Brooklyn Bridge Park—from details about wheel load capacity, to what books work best for young kids—helped us improve our work across the city. Thanks Brooklyn. See you next year!bbpc_350

Eleanor Davol has been a part of our work since the beginning. She can change a caster wheel, no problem.

In the park, we were adjacent to the ferry to Governor’s Island, where a second Uni spent the summer under supervision of Librarian Leigh Hurwitz (R). She got to say hello to Librarian Emily Jacobson (L) every morning before boarding.
