Give to Brown County Library

Invest in Your Library

We are your resource. Your access. Your history. Your curiosity. Your community. Your future.

Tax-deductible gifts and contributions of any size are appreciated and help the library fulfill its vision and mission of being a community hub that provides inclusive, safe, and welcoming spaces dedicated to literacy, learning, innovation, and cultural and economic vitality.

Gifts made directly to the library can be designated for a particular library location, department, or subject area. Undesignated gifts are used for the general needs of the library.

New Ashwaubenon Branch Library – Opening in fall 2025
Our vision is to create a modern library that will serve as a cornerstone for education, culture, and community development. This new library will not only house a diverse collection of books and resources, but will also offer digital access, educational programs, and a safe space for everyone to learn and grow.  Your donation to support this valuable community asset will help build a legacy that will enrich our community for years to come.  If you are interested in Naming Opportunities for spaces within the new branch, please contact Sue Lagerman at 920-448-5806.

Gift and Memorial Fund
Making a tribute gift is a meaningful way to celebrate an important person or event. Celebrate a birth, marriage, anniversary, graduation, promotion, or retirement; memorialize a beloved family member or special friend; or recognize a friend, client, or coworker. Contributing to this fund gives back to the community by enhancing the library’s collection of materials.

The Greater Green Bay Community Foundation provides investment management of tax-deductible contributions made to the Foundation. Mail check, payable to B.C.L. Foundation, to 515 Pine Street, Green Bay, WI 54301.
