Welcome Tonia, Tax Forms, Programs

Welcome, Tonia!

Our new executive director has  been on the job for less than a week but she is already showing her interest and enthusiasm for the library and its staff.  She is in the process of meeting everyone-- if she has not met with you yet, she will

There will be a reception for Tonia on January 23 from 3 pm- 5 pm.  The monthly Board of Trustees meeting will follow. Staff members are welcome to drop in.

Tax Forms

We finally had an email from the IRS saying that the tax forms will start shipping on January 21. They estimate three weeks before all will be sent, and we do not have an exact arrival date.  The Tax Prep program will start on Saturday, February 1, in the JCC.  Exact times will be announced later, but it will be on the usual Tuesdays and Saturdays.

BPL Programs

From Kayla:

"Typically, all of our programs will have a Facebook event page and that is the best place to check for program and contact details.  https://www.facebook.com/pg/bristolpubliclibrary/events/

If anyone is interested in the Family Nutrition Program, but cannot attend the sign-up dates, the contact for that is an employee with the extension office named Siera and she can be reached at 276-676-6309 or speers@vt.edu.  That information is on the flyer on our downstairs bulletin board, but she did not include it in the Facebook event.

The only event that is not on our Facebook page yet is the reception for Tonia, which is happening in the upstairs meeting room from 3:00 pm - 5:00pm on January 23^rd. The FOL is providing refreshments, and the public is invited to attend."

 Events for Children's and YA departments should be listed on their respective pages.

Old BPL

We have been searching for photos of the previous version of the library, specifically the outside.  If anyone has some, we'd love to borrow to scan!  Meanwhile, Joyce shared a shot of the old interior along with some familiar faces. Who remembers when the library looked like this?
