Supporting Our Efforts
Makes All The Difference

Thank you for supporting the Brighton District Library

Looking ahead to 2026, the Board of Trustees and staff are focused on improving accessibility and ease of use for all patrons. One exciting new initiative your donation will help bring to life is the installation of an outdoor locker system, allowing patrons to pick up library materials anytime, 24/7, even when the Library is closed. This project will greatly expand access and convenience for everyone in our community, including busy families, commuters, and those with mobility challenges alike.

Your contribution this year will not only help fund our new outdoor locker system, but will also support ongoing efforts to maintain and enhance our collections, programming, and the many services that make the Library such a vital part of our community. These investments ensure that the Library remains a welcoming, adaptable, and vibrant space for everyone.

Thank you to everyone who donated to our 2025/2026 Annual Appeal!
