HELP US TO REACH OUR GOAL OF 50,000 CHECKOUTS IN 2019!

Throughout the year, we will highlight different portions of our collection to inspire our patrons to check out what we have to offer.

In honor of Dr. Seuss, we will start with our collection for our youngest readers and their families. Our collection is split into three categories. We have picture books for our youngest readers, early readers for children who are starting to read, and chapter books for more experienced readers. If you need some suggestions, Ms. Debbie and Ms. Judy would be happy to help you with your selections.

All items in the library count to our goal. The list includes books, audio books, DVD’s, TV series, children’s books, backpacks, and even ebooks form OverDrive.

 

 

 

In 1987, Congress designated March as Women’s History Month and called upon the president to issue a proclamation for people to observe the month with appropriate ceremonies and activities. Since 1988, U.S presidents have issued annual proclamations designating the month of March as Women’s History Month. Each year, the National Women’s History Project selects a theme for National History Month. This Year’s theme is Visionary Women: Champions of Peace & Nonviolence. Please visit the Bradford Area Public Library this month to see our display for National Women’s History Month. The display will include inspirational quotes from prominent women in Bradford as well as a collection of books about the history of the women’s movement and prominent women in history, politics, science and medicine.
