The year 2009 marked the first time Brookfield Public Library's circulation topped the 200,000 mark, at 200,057. That's more than 10 items per capita, which nearly quadruples the national average of 2.6. People entered our building 125,639 times last year to use our collection (92,684 items), our computers (39,176 times), or attend a program (12,358 times).
We expect these numbers to increase in 2010, especially with the completion of our recent refurbishing project. The Library now features comfortable reading chairs, additional electrical outlets, new service desks, and fresh carpet, tile, and paint. Please join us on February 21 from 1-5 p.m. for an Open House to celebrate its completion.
Come see our new exhibit, "Bound by Hand: How a Book is Made". 
On Wednesday, February 10, Brookfield Public Library will join libraries across the state in “Snapshot: One Day in the Life of Illinois Libraries” to demonstrate the importance of libraries to the state of Illinois. Collecting information, comments, and photographs from events in a typical library day will show how libraries consistently provide invaluable services to our community.
