The Uni partnered for a fourth time with Phillip Kellogg and the Fulton Area Business Alliance (FAB) to help nurture newly pedestrianized plazas in Brooklyn. By creating an open-air reading room at Putnam Triangle in Clinton Hill, we’re sending a message that these new public spaces can be safe, inviting, and even inspiring places for residents to gather. Thanks to FAB Alliance, Andrew Collins our volunteer science educator, some terrific volunteers from Public Allies NY, and, of course, the residents of Clinton Hill, who joined us on the plaza, despite some ominous looking clouds!
Volunteers from Public Allies NY had some great ideas for organizing the books, and they dove right in.
Thanks Public Allies NY—we’re hoping to work together again in the future!
After some reading, head over to the tricycle speedway, created by our hosts FAB Alliance.
Inspiration from Philippe Petit. These two are reading The Man Who Walked Between the Towers.
