Community group claims Brooklyn Public Library understates capital funds
The Brooklyn Public Library has more money than it’s letting on, according to a new organization called Love Brooklyn Libraries (LBL).
LBL was created in an effort to keep the Brooklyn Heights Library from being sold and developed. Aiming to prove its allegations, the group has filed a complaint with state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, accusing the library of misrepresenting its capital funds for a real estate grab.
“The Brooklyn Public Library is hiding the money so that they can do the real estate deal,” said LBL President Marsha Rimler. [Update: According to LBL, as of Feb. 8 Rimler is no longer with the organization.]
