Jill Skillern, Recruiting Assistant for the U. S. Census, will be available in our Resource Room Wednesday, February 5th 10:00-2:00 with materials for anyone to stop by and learn about the Census and Census jobs. Census 2020 will determine federal funding and impacts our schools, roads, and senior services.

Saturday, February 8th we also have SoulCollage workshop 12:30-2:30 in our meeting room, presented by Heather MacLeod. In this session you will make a SoulCollage card representing one of our seven chakras, and will do a guided meditation to invite spirit animal energy to be our companion.
 
Saturday, February 29th we will have Daily Art Journaling workshop 10-noon in the meeting room, presented by Kim Dubay. Start the new year by “drawing our days” in a journal. Keep track of your routine and daily life on paper!
 
These are all free thanks to generous funding of the Friends of Bridgton Library. Donations are always welcome.

Welcome February

Welcome February
February can be a tricky time of year for planning things and getting out safely, so please take advantage of some of the online offerings we have when you can’t make it in. Check out our lists of titles, available in our online catalog, and reserve some titles from your home. We will pull them from the shelves and have them ready for you at the Main Circulation Desk, or Youth Services Desk. Please allow us at least an hour.
 
If we don’t have what you need, consider making a Purchase Suggestion or completing an Interlibrary Loan Request form. You can use our online forms or give us a call, and we will fill them in for you. We give you a call when the items are available for pickup.
 
Looking to get out of the house and learn something new? Check out our upcoming workshops, and pre-register online or at the Main Circulation Desk. Signup for one of our free or discounted Museum Passes, including the Children’s Museum, Portland Museum of Art, and coming soon the Maine State Museum in Augusta.
 
Our Library has some wonderful people, and some wonderful offerings. Please come see us on the days when weather permits; we are always happy to see you!
