Every few months, librarians at the Central Library curate a collection in New and Noteworthy around a theme - in December 2023 we launched our sports theme. Each librarian pulled books from their collections that they felt you'd be interested in. From biographies of famous athletes, to movies about down and out soccer players, to cookbooks on what to eat if you're running a marathon. You'll even find a romance or mystery novel or two!
Remember - the New and Noteworthy room is not in classic Dewey order - you'll need to find your next great read using serendipity!
Don't forget to check out our photograph collection from the Center for Brooklyn History where you'll find many more vintage sports photographs.
