This new collection, featuring works of fiction and nonfiction, music, scores, and films will be set up for patrons to browse and check out on the 2nd floor by mid-summer.
All items in the collection will be donated, and each item will be evaluated by a committee of librarians based on the educational, recreational, and/or entertainment value they bring to our patrons, the community’s interest and demand, and the creator’s connection to the area.
If you are intersted in submitting an item to our new Local Collection, you can fill out an online form at www.northbrook.info/local-collection.
