===Brooklyn Public Library===
The '''Brooklyn Public Library''' is a large library in [[Brooklyn]] that Mario and Luigi used to visit when they lived there. When Mario and his friends venture into King Koopa's giant castle in the episode "[[Mario and the Beanstalk]]", Luigi jokingly notes that it is larger than the Brooklyn Public Library. In "[[Wild Thing]]", Mario and Luigi have each borrowed a book from the library, which they intend to read over the weekend.
In actuality, the library system of Brooklyn as a whole is known as the {{wp|Brooklyn Public Library}}, rather than any one single library going by that name.
