They are also: - A resource of accurate, trusted information in a world full of AI and misinformation - A safe, welcoming third place for kids after school - Access to free programs for all ages, opportunities that might otherwise be out of reach due to cost - A space for children to build literacy, socialize, and for parents to connect with one another - A way to preserve and share important local history - Meeting spaces for small organizations and community groups - Educational resources for new and growing families - A place to apply for jobs, print resumes, and access reliable internet We care about creating a space that feels safe, inclusive, and welcoming for all who walk through our doors. Our staff works every day to balance compassion with clear policies so the library remains a positive environment for all. Libraries have changed over the years but they are far from obsolete. In many ways, they are more essential than ever. As everyday life continues to get more and more expensive, having a place to go without the expectation to spend money and to leave feeling enriched, is rare and important. This past year alone, ๐ต๐ฑ,๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ฌ people walked through our doors. Attendance at our adult programs increased by ๐ฑ๐ฑ%, and our family programs grew by ๐ฏ๐ญ%. We are happy to be a place where our community finds enjoyment, information, and resources. From borrowing books, movies, puzzles, toys, fishing equipment, and sleds. To attending story times, workshops, and community events - the library is here for everyone. If the library has made a difference in your life, we hope youโll consider sharing your voice. ๐ง๐๐ฒ๐๐ฑ๐ฎ๐, April ๐ญ๐ฐ๐๐ต ๐ฑ:๐ฏ๐ฌ ๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ถ๐๐ ๐๐ฎ๐น๐น Your support helps to make sure we can continue serving the entirety of Biddeford.
