Ongoing Programs
Adopt-a-Shell
(All ages, available while supplies last)
Is your home in need of a pet? Are you looking for something low maintenance and adorable? Come adopt a shell! Available until all shells have been adopted.
Find our gnome!
Our gnome keeps wandering around and we could use your help finding him! If you are going on vacation or having a stay-cation, you can grab your own paper gnome to color and take with you. Snap a photo of you and your gnome and email it to us at bdpl.ref@mcfls.org and we will display your photo and give you a prize!
Reading Rocks
Keep an eye out this summer for decorated rocks with a label that says Brown Deer Public Library. If you return a rock to the library (or re-hide it and take a picture to show us), we will give you a prize! Please be mindful of where you hide the rocks and try to place them on public property only. Some business owners have asked to not participate in this program. Thank you for your consideration!

Looking for something to do with the kids? Pick up one of our fabulous attraction passes. We have passes for the zoo, the domes, Schlitz Audubon Center, Discovery World, the Milwaukee Art Museum and Betty Brinn.
