Brookfield Library is now offering contact-less curbside pick-up.  The Library is staffed from 10am to 3pm Monday through Friday.  The library also has online story times, book discussions, teen and adult game nights and other virtual events. 

Summer Reading Kick-off is June 22.  One Town, One Read, the town-wide shared reading program asks everyone in town to read the same book.  This is the third consecutive year that Brookfield is participating in this program. 

With the library closed to the public due to COVID-19, they decided to select a title that is in the public domain, where the copyright protection has expired.  Library Director Yvonne Cech says the selection committee chose The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by Frank Baum.   The library is planning COVID-safe enrichment programs and discussions inspired by the themes within the book.  

The kickoff for this year’s program is a Book Giveaway of 200 brand-new copies of The Wizard of Oz.
