About Us

The Brimfield Public Library District boundaries match the Brimfield School District boundaries. We committed to fostering community connection and lifelong learning opportunities for the approximately 4,000 residents of the district as well as reciprocal patrons from surrounding communities.

The Library features a collection of more than 24,000 physical items, including books, DVDs, periodicals, games, and technology. Our digital collection has about 2,986,438 items. We bring new technologies to our patrons, offering electronic resources, computer equipment and training for adults and children, assistive reading devices, and online services.

The Library is run by the Director, who is hired by the Library Board of Trustees. The seven members of the Board of Trustees are elected in staggered six-year terms during the Consolidated Election in April. The Board generally meets on the third Monday of each month at 6:30 in the Library.

The Library is divided into five departments: Administration, Adult Services, Facilities, Technical and Circulation Services, and Youth Services. The Library has approximately 2 full-time and 7 part-time employees.

Property Taxes make up a major portion of our operating revenue. Other revenue sources include donations, grants, and fines and fees. A levy request is filed each August at the Peoria County Clerk’s Office. The Library’s fiscal year runs from July 1 – June 30.
