Survey: Putterham Library Hours
|
|
|
|
In the Spring of 2017, Members of the Community met with Library Trustees to inquire about the possibility of expanded hours at the Putterham Library. In June 2018, in conjunction with the Coolidge Corner Library renovation, the Putterham Library began a pilot study of its hours and usage, adopting the Coolidge Corner Library's regular hours (M/W 10 am - 6 pm, Tu/TH 10 am - 9 pm, F/Sa 9:30 am - 5 pm, Su 1 pm - 5 pm) for this purpose.
|
|
As part of this study, the Library is interested in hearing from the community regarding these expanded hours. Please take the quick survey below to share your feedback.

Get Involved
|
|
The Brookline Library Foundation, the non-profit arm of the Public Library of Brookline, is reaching out to our community with opportunities to contribute to our Library’s future. Over the past 20 years, funds raised by the Foundation have supported renovations, technology, books and materials, programs, museum passes, and more.
|
There are a variety of ways to contribute to the Foundation: as board members, as committee members for events, helping with outreach to the community, assisting with social media and technology usage, fundraising, and board development.
