It’s National Library Week everyone!

Just like any other celebration, we’re sure this one could've snuck up on you. No worries. This one is easy to celebrate, just visit your local library!

We love connecting with you all, and that makes it perfect that this year’s theme is Connecting With Your Library. Whether you use the library to connect to the internet or to connect with good books or connect with other people at programs, we are here for you. And we want to hear from you. Visit your BCLS branch between April 3 and 9 and enter to win a $25 Meijer Gift Card by telling us how you “Connect with Your Library”. But wait there’s more. All of our used book sales at the branches are half price this week.

To help you find new ways to connect, check out some of these cool things we have to offer:

• Cake Pans- Connect with a fellow foodie  and have a baking day in one of our unique pans available to check out.
• Board Games- Connect with young ones with our family board games, or have a friend game night and try one of our higher difficulty games for a special game night!
• Programs- Connect with others in town at our programs. We have virtual and in-person programs every month. Register online to save your spot!
• Databases- Connect to the information you need. From homework help to researching ancestry to determining what car to buy next. We have so many databases to check out.
• Movies- Connect with a family movie night. Stop by your nearest branch to browse the huge, free movie collections to find the perfect flick. Don’t have time to stop by, you can check out digital movies from Kanopy and Hoopla!
• Mango- Connect with those who speak different languages! Try Mango to help build you foreign language skills.

We hope you stop in to your nearest branch this week and celebrate with us.
