The Brooklyn Public Library and the New York Restoration Project have cut the ribbon on a new garden at the Stone Avenue Library in Brooklyn. The project adds green space to the library grounds, giving readers and neighborhood residents an outdoor area to enjoy. The opening reflects the two organizations' ongoing work bringing gardens and green spaces to public sites across the borough.
