John C. Thomas Memorial Athletic Scholarship

We are celebrating the 100th anniversary of our historic Carnegie library building. While supplies last, apply for a NEW Brockton Public Library card and you can get a plain card for free or for only $3, a beautiful commemorative card. Or, if you already have a card and want to exchange it for this spiffy commemorative, we'll charge only $3. $2 of each sale goes to our John Thomas Memorial Scholarship fund, and $1 covers the cost of the card. Either way, you're supporting your local library. Stop by and get your beautiful commemorative library card today!
