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.

Banned Books Week
|
|
Banned Books Week 2018 is September 23 - 29. This year's theme, "Banning Books Silences Stories," is a reminder that everyone needs to speak out against the tide of censorship.
|
|
|
|
The Library is playing "Guess That Banned Book!" Can you guess what book was challenged because it "Teaches children to lie, spy, back-talk, and curse"? Visit us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram and take a guess.
