Home Delivery Services
We are committed to serving those Brookfield residents who may find it difficult to come into the Library. If you, a friend, or loved one would benefit from home delivery of library services, please complete the interest form, which can be found here. Once your form is received, Library staff will work with you to request materials and set up deliveries. A copy of this form will need to be signed and sent to Library staff, certifying that materials can be delivered to you.
