Welcome to the Brookfield Public Library

Free or discounted admission to 17 Chicagoland destinations... (8/06/2010)

The Museum Adventure Pass is a partnership between more than 100 suburban area libraries and 17 local arts and cultural organizations, including Brookfield Zoo, Morton Arboretum, and the Chicago Botanic Garden. Stop by the Check Out Desk for availability; a valid library card is required. This special opportunity was made possible through the participation of the Metropolitan Library System and a generous contribution from Macy’s.
