Can Your Fines will be on Monday, March 4. Our fine forgiveness event happens the first Monday of each month allowing our Bradford cardholders the chance to waive their overdue fines by bringing in nonperishable food items. One dollar for each item donated will be waived. You can also have fees for one lost item waived at the same rate. Please see our staff for details. All food collected will be donated to the Bradford Resource Center and will stay in Bradford. Last year we collected nearly 500 items to help those in need.
We are having a Winter Reading Challenge through March 11. Patrons can simply check out books at BPL, read them, fill out a slip with name, phone number and title of the book you read, and turn it in at the library. Prizes will be awarded March 11 with a drawing of our top 5 readers in each age division. Winter Reading Challenge is open for all ages!
