David Woloch joined Brooklyn Public Library as Executive Vice President of External Affairs in 2012 after a distinguished career in city government. David oversees the Library’s government and community relations, development, and marketing and communications departments. He and his team have succeeded in increasing public awareness of the library and growing the institution’s operating and capital budgets through increased public and private investment. As a result, all public libraries in Brooklyn are now open at least six days per week and program participation grew to the highest point in the Library’s history. David has also helped lead BPL’s efforts to form innovative partnerships and strategies to develop new libraries throughout the borough.
