Despite criticism, the Jay-Z exhibition at Brooklyn Public Library gets an 'Encore'

Despite facing funding challenges in a tough economy, the Brooklyn Public Library has put a lot of energy into new initiatives. Since it's mid-July unveiling, “The Book of HOV” [like "stove”] exhibit at the Central Library has celebrated rapper Jay-Z’s journey from Bed-Stuy’s Marcy Projects to international acclaim, drawing in 300,000 visitors. Due to its immense success, the exhibit will now remain open to the public through the end of the year. WNYC’s Janae Pierre toured the Central Library to uncover the exhibit’s transformative effect.
