Brown County Central Library

Brown County Library, the first county-wide system in the state of Wisconsin, was created in 1968 when Kellogg Public Library in Green Bay and De Pere Public Library combined to give all county residents easier access to library materials and services.

In 1980, 1993, and 2023, Brown County Library was named Wisconsin Library of the Year, and in 1994, Library Journal and Gale Research Inc. recognized the library’s effective, diverse and efficient service to the community by naming the library National Library of the Year.

Today, Brown County Library, comprised of Central Library, eight branches and a Bookmobile, serves over 80% of the households in Brown County and circulates over 2.3 million materials annually. The library is your resource and your community, your history, and your future.
