October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. The library is supporting the efforts of Bridgton’s Family Crisis Services in raising awareness and providing services for those affected by domestic violence. They have loaned us some books to display, and provided us with pamphlets and bookmarks to distribute. Nationally, the week of October 16-22 has been designated National Week of Action, and Thursday, October 22 is Wear Purple Day. Many businesses along Main Street will have purple gels on their exterior lights in support of DVAM. Family Crisis Services partnered with the Town of Bridgton and Lake Region TV to produce a 7 minute interview about domestic violence, which can be viewed here.
