  For now, if you wish to search all the RSA libraries for materials, please use the My Account link.  The Search for Materials link will search Brimfield Pub. Library only.  Thanks for your patience while we work out the "bugs" in our new system.

The library now subscribes to a great reader's advisory database called Novelist.  You can look up authors, titles, subjects, or find a new author that writes like your favorite author!  Click on Links above the picture of the library at the top of this page, and then click on the Novelist link.  Have Fun!!

Be sure to check out the "Calendar" to find out what's going on @ your library! "Links" will connect you to reference, employment, weather, genealogy, Secretary of State, and other interesting & helpful websites!


Book Club
Book Club (for adults) meets the last Tuesday of each month @ 6:00 p.m. in the library.  New members always welcome!

RSA Cat Has Arrived!

 RSA Cat is our new online library card catalog website.  It will allow full access to the entire collection at Brimfield and all the other libraries in the Resource Sharing Alliance (the RSA in RSA Cat)  from any computer connected to the Internet.  The new RSA Cat will allow you to place holds on items in your local library and renew your items; all from home.  Starting in Spring 2008 it will allow you to place holds on just about any title in over 160 libraries and their branches, and to choose the library where you will pick up your requests.  In addition to looking and working better, the new RSA Cat will often include extras such as book covers, reviews, tables of contents, summaries, and first chapter previews.  Click on the Search for Materials link at the top of this page to visit the new catalog.  To use the My Account feature you need your library card number and the password is CHANGEME.  You can change your password at that point, and access your account.

 RSA Cat is "Libraries Delivered" to you!  Looking forward to serving you better @ your library!!

New Library Cards 

All Brimfield Public Library District residents will be issued one of our new library cards when next visiting the library.  Come in and get your new plastic "credit card" style library card along with a matching key tag!  The new cards are so attractive, with a picture of the library building on the front; it's the "smartest card" in your purse or wallet!

We're Going Green!

 The EPA estimates that it takes 1 plastic bag over 500 years to decay in a landfill.  Each person's plastic bag legacy will be 4.175 million years!  The worldwide consumption of plastic bags is over 500 billion, that's over 1 million per minute!  Help our environment by buying green, reusable bags at the library for only $1.00ea.  They are great for book bags, groceries, etc.  Don't forget to switch out your ordinary light bulbs to energy saving fluorescent bulbs.  Simple ways to be kind to our environment!

Wireless Internet Access at the Library!

"Wifi" service allows those with a laptop computer, PDA, enabled cell phone, etc. to use our high speed Internet access with their own equipment and without wires!  If you don't know if your equipment is compatible, or has wireless capability, check with the sales staff where you purchased your equipment for help.  Come in and enjoy some coffee, while using our wireless high speed connection!
