The Andrew Carnegie Foundation has awarded a $1 million grant to Brooklyn Public Library in Brooklyn, New York, to expand immigrant and teen support programs. The two-year grant will fund English classes, citizenship training, legal clinics, workforce assistance, and college-and-career services, including coaching and financial aid support. The investment aims to broaden access across library branches, helping immigrants navigate U.S. systems and enabling teens to pursue higher education and economic opportunities.
