Sunday hours resume Sunday, September 11.

As always, many of our services are available online even when the building is closed, including library card registration, eBooks and downloads, 

online learning, and more.

The Youth Services department is pleased to offer the new Calming Space! This space was developed to be a comforting place for children and adults in need of a a quiet space in the library. It can be used for the following activities:

• A private space away from noise for children and families
• A private area for nursing or pumping
• A calming environment for a child in need

BPL strives to create diverse, accessible, and inclusive spaces with unique learning opportunities for all children and families who enter.

To use the Calming Space, stop by the Youth Services Desk. The space is available on a first come, first served basis, no advance registrations. This room was generously funded by the estate of Mr. Dominic Froio.
