Do you have a favorite author or series? Consider sponsoring their books!

Brookline Public Library’s sponsorship program is easy to join. It helps our collection budget go further, and lets you have a voice in what we order for the library collection. Speak to a staff member about available authors or other items you might like to sponsor. We have a “wish list” of authors who need sponsors! If you have a favorite author not on our list (or in our library) we’ll consult our collection development policy and work with you.

How does it work?

The library will keep track of when new titles by an author you sponsor are released. The library will purchase these titles and notify you when they arrive. You pay for them at a discounted rate and get to read them first! Your name will be proudly displayed on a bookplate that is visible when the book is opened. If, at some future point, the library decides to discard an item you sponsored, it will be offered to you to keep.

Is it just adult books?

No! You can also sponsor DVDs (do you have a favorite movie director or actor or actress?), magazines, books, movies, or other items in the youth area.

Not sure I can sponsor a lot of items-can I just do one or two?

Absolutely! A onetime sponsorship, or just a few items, works for us!
