We are pleased to announce that our library has been selected as one of 300 nationwide to participate in round three of Libraries Transforming Communities: Accessible Small and Rural Communities, an American Library Association (ALA) initiative that provides community engagement and accessibility resources to small and rural libraries to help them better serve people with disabilities. With this grant award, we are able to make updates to better serve folks with vision and hearing impairments, making library programs more accessible for everyone. Improvements include an 86” large format presentation display board, as well as window treatments to darken the room and reduce glare for program participants. We also have an Echenbach Vario Digital FHD desktop video magnifier that will enlarge an image of text onto a monitor screen, allowing for contrast changes to make text easier to read. Stop by and let us know if this device suits your needs and our goal of making the library accessible to everyone!

Stay posted on all that is happening at the library by signing up for our Monthly Newsletters, checking out your community listserv, going to the BPL facebook/instagram, or by stopping by the library!
