August Weekly Closure (UPDATE)

Published on 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 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.

August Library Closure

Published on by blaisdellml

The Blaisdell Memorial Library will be closed to the public from August 13th to August 21st, following the end of Summer Reading.

During this time, physical materials may not be available for check out or return. All patrons are encouraged to check the due dates on items they have checked out to arrange renewals in advance, as well as place any requests or reserves before the closure. Digital items such as Libby e-books and e-audiobooks will not be affected by the closure.

Patrons with Inter-Library Loan items that are due back during this week are encouraged to either return them in advance or request a renewal the week before, as other libraries may need more time to respond. There may also be a delay in recieving ILL loans that are placed close to the closure week.

For any questions, please contact the library.

Library Closure: Friday, 4/14

Published on by blaisdellmlLeave a comment

Blaisdell Memorial Library’s building will be closed all day this Friday (April 14th) for tree removal. We will reopen as usual on Saturday the 15th.

Our Friday storytime is not cancelled, and will be held at its usual time at the Nottingham Rec Center instead of the library.

You may still return books by bringing them to the storytime, or by using the library’s return box. Our online catalog system will still be active, so we encourage patrons who were seeking particular titles to reserve them online for pickup on Saturday morning. Learn more about using the online catalog.

Thank you for your understanding!
