What an amazing day at the Brownsville Free Public Library! 📖 📚

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped in today, checked out books, browsed our shelves, got fingerprints done, and of course those who asked about volunteering. Seeing so many smiling faces walk through our doors was truly exciting and reminds us why bringing our library back to life is so important.

Please stop in tomorrow if you’re at Riverfest and check out a book!

Your support, enthusiasm, and kind words mean the world to our board and our new librarian, Lilly. This is just the beginning, and we can’t wait to continue growing with our wonderful community.

Exciting Announcement!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏

📚🎉 The Brownsville Free Public Library is Reopening July 10! 🎉📚

After months of hard work, dedication, and the incredible support of our community, we’re excited to announce the soft reopening of the Brownsville Free Public Library on July 10!

🕙 Library Hours:
Fridays: 10:00 AM – 7:00 PM
Saturdays: 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM

This is an exciting new chapter for our library, and we couldn’t have reached this milestone without the unwavering commitment of our Board of Directors, volunteers, supporters, and community members who believed in the future of our library. Thank you for standing by us every step of the way.

We’re also thrilled to introduce our new librarian, Lilly! Many of you may already know her from the California Public Library, where she has served the community for the past five years.

Lilly earned her Master’s Degree in Library Science from PennWest and brings a passion for libraries, literacy, and community engagement. We are confident she’ll be a wonderful addition to Brownsville, and we hope you’ll join us in giving her a warm welcome!

As we continue this transition, we ask for your patience and kindness as we work to restore services and make the library a place our entire community can enjoy once again.

We are so excited to open our doors and welcome everyone back. Stop in, say hello to Lilly, browse our collection, and celebrate this exciting new beginning with us.

Please note that Waggin will not be available at this time.

Welcome back to your Brownsville Free Public Library! ❤️📖
