Enjoy some time at BPL this week…

We have plenty of activities to do here at the Library as well as things to take home with you. And don’t forget we have passes to the Portland Museum of Art, Children’s Museum, and Southworth Planetarium for those who want a little adventure. 

We still have snowshoes to check out, and the trails are perfect right now. Thank you to Loon Echo Land Trust for these wonderful snow shoes and poles. And check out their website for a full list of trails they maintain. 

And of course we have new books throughout our library, with something for everyone. We have our new titles near each circulation desk, and the staff is always happy to help you find what you are interested in. 

Happy February!
