The town’s COVID
positivity level is in the “Red’ with an increase in the number of cases. Out
of an abundance of caution, and based on the guidance of the Board of Health,
the Board of Trustees voted to close the library to in-library browsing,
effective Wednesday, December 23, 2020, until further notice. Curbside pickup
will still be available.
Patrons
may call or email to make appointments for curbside pickup. Our other services such as photocopying,
faxing, and notary service will be available curbside only.

In-Library Browsing by Appointment
We are excited to announce that In-Library Browsing &
Checkout by appointment will begin on Tuesday, October 27. We will continue to offer Curbside Pick-up for
patrons who prefer this method of accessing library services. Hours for
Curbside Pick-up will be identical to our In-Library appointment hours:
Tuesday & Thursday 3-7 PM
Wednesday & Friday 12-4 PM
Since we must limit the number of people in the building, patrons who do not need inside services and/or just want to check out items placed on hold are asked to continue using Curbside Pick-up.
All appointments must be made by phone or e-mail.
Please do not try to book an appointment via Facebook.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING
PRIOR TO MAKING AN APPOINTMENT
Masks must be worn at all times within the library. If you do not have a mask, we can provide one for you. If you are unable to wear a mask, we will do our best to accommodate you without entry into the building. Social distancing is required of everyone, including staff, and plexiglass guards have been installed at the circulation desk. We have vulnerable staff and patrons and are committed to maintaining a safe environment for both.
If you have tested positive for COVID-19 or are experiencing any of the symptoms of COVID-19 (fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat), or have recently been exposed, please do not enter the library.
Returns: You do not need an appointment to return library materials. Library materials can be returned in the outdoor drop box, which is open 24/7, or in the cardboard box under the Curbside Pick-up table in the foyer.
A mix of new board books, picture books, middle grade books, and books on CD! If you'd like to reserve any of these titles, please call 508-867-6339 or email brookfieldcovid19@gmail.com to set up a curbside pickup appointment.
New picture books available at the library. Please call or email if you'd like to request any of these through curbside pickup.
