Making a book donation to the Linda Sokol Francis Brookfield Library is a special way to memorialize or honor family and friends. With your donation, the Library will purchase books and other materials or use the funds for classes and events or special projects. You may wish to specify an area of interest from which the Library will attempt to select the material or leave the selection to the Library staff.

Acknowledgements of gifts are sent to the person being honored; memorial gifts are acknowledged to the family of the deceased. A printed bookplate, bearing your name and the name of the person for whom the book was purchased, is placed on the gift.
