Library Services January 2021

Library Services January 2021

We are planning to continue our walk-in hours in January  T: 10-4, W: 10-4, F: 10-4, Sat: 10-2, with no-contact pickup available at the end of each day for those who choose. We do encourage people to use our online catalog to place holds for quick pick up or give us a call and we can help you by pre-picking some books we think you’d like.

We will post it on our website, Facebook, Instagram if we have either a health or weather closing (though with the weather, we may not have Internet, but we’ll try). Please call if you have any questions (207-647-2472).

We will be offering Activities To-Go and book discussion groups by Zoom. While we cannot offer in-person workshops here, we have gathered together some online resources for you to help you get inspired, get involved, learn something new, and part of a different kind of community. 

The UMaine Cooperative Extension has an awesome lineup of online workshops, with a suggested donation of $5 per session. Can’t make a donation? That’s okay, we’ll make one on your behalf. We will make a donation for any patron who brings in or emails a copy of your program registration.

We have an innovative new membership here at the Library! We have partnered with the Maine Writers & Publishers Alliance to offer online workshops for up to 5 library patrons at member prices. If the member prices are a little more than you can afford, please get in touch with the Library for our scholarship program.

Stay safe and well. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Sincerely,

Dear Library Family,
 
Here at BPL we are always striving to meet your needs.  Currently, Miss Sam is hoping to apply for a grant to aid us in gaining materials to support our growing Homeschool community.  In order to have enough data to make our application compelling, we have compiled a survey to give us the information sponsors will be looking for. 
 
What’s in it for you?  In addition to helping us gain materials to directly benefit you and your students, we are raffling two $50.00 gift cards to Bridgton Books
 
Your email – provided for the purposes of the raffle, will NOT remain associated with your responses.  The survey is completely anonymous.
 
I encourage you to forward and share this survey to fellow homeschoolers who use the Bridgton Public Library, or who would use BPL if we had the homeschool support they need.
 
This survey is only for those who are currently homeschooling or who have homeschooled in the past. This is important to ensure that we are collecting accurate data on your needs!
 
Thank you all, and Happy Reading!
Miss Samantha
