Community matters @ Blackstone

Last week was a big week for libraries in Connecticut. We had our "Snapshot Day" last Tuesday - a day where libraries across CT get to share a day in the life of their library. We collected our regular usage stats (how many items checked in & out; how many reference questions asked, etc), as well as comments and pictures, all to show you and others a typical day at the Blackstone Library!

Last week was also National Library Week - a chance to celebrate libraries and showcase all we have to offer. The theme for this year was Communities Matter @ Your Library. And Branford, you matter to us!

The public library is a reflection of the community it's a part of. And we are you - a perfect combination of historic elegance and new technologies. We do our best to provide excellence to you - in our collection, in our service, & in our programming - but we don't do it in a vacuum. We're listening to you, Branford, and want to hear what you have to say. You matter to us, we couldn't do what we do without you. So, thank you Branford, & we hope to see you real soon!
