The Library's mission is to provide access to recorded knowledge and information to all the people of Brookline. The Library helps develop in children a love of reading and an appreciation of the library's resources. Brookline Coolidge Corner Branch Library offers materials that meet the needs of an urban neighborhood, characterized by significant populations of elderly, children and readers for whom English is a second language. Russian, Chinese and growing Spanish speaking communities require material in these languages as well as resources for learning English.
