COVID-19 Information and Response
To Our Library Community:

First and foremost, we want you to be safe, and well-informed.

In accordance with the extension of the Governor's orders and the advice of medical professionals, the Bridgman Public Library will be closed to the public until further notice. 

This is a rapidly changing situation, and we are certainly looking for creative ways to provide service while we remain closed.

Remember...

...our wifi is running 24/7! Maintain proper social distancing, and access the Internet from our parking lot.

...we are renewing your library cards and materials. Just let us know if you need help getting updated or getting a library card!

...check out our online storytimes on the Library's Youtube channel

...you now have double the monthly checkouts in Hoopla

While we realize this is a hardship, we value, above all else, the health and well-being of our community. All of our decisions center on those values, and we look forward to serving you as fully and responsibly as we can. Since we will not be answering our phones...Please contact us via email, our Facebook page, or through our Instagram page. We want to hear from you!

Sincerely,

The Bridgman Public Library Staff and Board of Trustees
