Welcome

The Brooklyn Town Library will now be hosting story times at 2:30 p.m. every Tuesday...in addition to our once a month Saturday story times. Saturday story times will feature a take home craft and will require a sign up so that we can plan for enough craft materials for each child. The weekly story times will feature a variety of activities and, of course, stories!! Hope you can make it!

Adopt-A-Book

Pick a book on the bulletin board that you wish to purchase. Bring the advertisement to a staff member and pre-pay so that we may pre-order. Once the new book has arrived, you get to read it first and we will include a plaque inside the front cover commemorating your generosity. When you have finished reading it, the book gets returned to the library for others to enjoy, too! This not only helps the library but provides a unique way for those who can to pay something forward in support of the library. It's a win-win for everyone!

Give the miniatures' or memorabilia collector a piece of Brooklyn with our Cat's Meow Collection. Each piece is lovingly carved out of wood and painted to match the historic landmarks of our town. They make the perfect gift any time of year. Stop by the Brooklyn Town Library...while supplies last!

Brooklyn Town Library now hosts Children’s Storytime the 2nd Saturday of each month at 11 a.m. We will begin with a special holiday storytime on Saturday, December 10, 2022 at 11:00 a.m.
