Friends of the Brookings Public Library

05/22/2026

Some of the new additions purchased from our $20,000 donation in April have recently hit the Brookings Public Library floor and shelves:

• A new rug for the junior area
• Rocker chairs for kids
• Rolling storage cabinets
• New bookends
• And other helpful updates throughout the library

Seeing the visible impact of our donations on the library is so rewarding. Thank you to everyone who continues to support us and the library!📚

With $7,400 raised at the spring book sale, combined with additional donations from the past few months, we’re happy to share that the Friends of the Library were able to contribute over $20,000 back to the Brookings Public Library!

The library provided a list of current needs, and we were able to support programming and the purchase of new tables, bookends, technology like launch pads, and more.

Thank you to everyone who donated, volunteered, and attended the sale. Your support continues to make a meaningful difference for our library and the community it serves.

There aren't many book to movie adaptations which live up to our expectations. The Outsiders is probably my favorite and gold standard.
Only have today & tomorrow to find your next 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ read!
