August Weekly Closure (UPDATE)

Published on August 9, 2024August 21, 2024 by blaisdellmlLeave a comment

Blaisdell Memorial Library will be closed to the public from August 11th until August 26th.

As previously announced, BML will be closed to the public through the third week of August for maintenance and cleaning. During this period of time, patrons will not be able to pick up reserves, check out books, place or pick up interlibrary loans, or request museum passes. This will not impact use of the Libby by Overdrive app.

You can view your checkouts, current reserves, and place some renew requests online by visiting the Blaisdell Catalog Website and logging in with your library card number and phone number.

In keeping with our usual policy, books that are due while the library is closed will not accrue any overdue fines if returned during this period.

The library will reopen with normal hours on Tuesday, August 27th.

We appreciate your understanding and apologize for the unexpected length of this closure!

Statement on Library Hours

Published on May 15, 2024 by blaisdellml

As the Town is now working under the constraints of a default budget, the Blaisdell Memorial Library continues to operate on a reduced schedule, and will do so for the duration of 2024. At this time, we do not anticipate any additional negative impacts to the Summer Reading program, Lego or STEAM clubs, or our ongoing programming.

We will continue to assess our hours of operation. Patrons should be aware that we may need to cancel or reschedule programs, or adjust our operating hours, sometimes on short notice.

Scheduled closures will be posted on the sign in front of the library, our website, and on Facebook and Instagram. Last-minute closures will be posted on Facebook and the front door of the library.
