Brooklyn Public Library released lefty, biased ‘Week in Politics’ reading list

The Brooklyn Public Library leaned left with its recently released reading list, “Books to Contextualize this Week in Politics.”

The 14-book guide highlighted Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt’s book, “How Democracies Die” – which warns of former President Donald Trump’s impact on American democracy; and Robert Dallek’s “How Did We Get Here? From Theodore Roosevelt to Donald Trump,” which also critiques the Republican presidential nominee.

“The Situation Room” by George Stephanopoulos, whom Trump is currently suing for defamation , and “Why We’re Polarized” by lefty author and New York Times scribe Ezra Klein, also made the liberal list.

The library threw in presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris’s 2019 memoir, “The Truths We Hold: An American Journey.”

After The Post inquired about the list, the library quickly added some balance with Michael Nelson’s 2018 book, “Trump’s First Year”; the presidential candidate’s “Art of the Deal” memoir; and his running mate J.D. Vance’s “Hillbilly Elegy.”

Critics blasted the library for bias.

“If the Brooklyn Public Library was being academically honest, they would be showing books from both sides,” said Councilwoman Joann Ariola (R-Queens).

“The propaganda machines are already working overtime to shove Kamala down our throats … We’re at a point where taxpayer-funded institutions are bold and blatant about their role as the propaganda arm of the radical left,” agreed Councilwoman Inna Vernikov (R-Brooklyn).

The library said their booklists are curated by librarians and are “designed to cater to a variety of readers and showcase a broad spectrum of perspectives.

“These lists are dynamic and are continually updated and enhanced. The booklist has now been edited to reflect a wider range of titles, and we always welcome BPL cardholders to curate and share their own booklists in our catalog,” the library said.
