FY 2012 Bridgeport Library Budget
“Bridgeport Public Library Hours Expanded Citywide”
City Librarian Scott Hughes is proud to announce that starting October 15th the Bridgeport Public Library plans to provide seven days of service for the first time since 1989.
Thanks to the overwhelming support of the voters of Bridgeport, the BPL will be providing 7 days of service a week including Saturdays at all branch locations.
Commenting on the additional hours of service, Jim O’Donnell, President of the Library Board of Directors, stated, “We are so pleased, in the face of all the administrative challenges presented, to finally be able to open our doors seven days a week. These additional hours will give patrons more opportunities in these difficult economic times to use the essential services provided by our libraries. All of us connected with the Library are grateful to the Bridgeport community who recognize the priceless value of our libraries expressed by the overwhelming support of the Library Referendum which has provided the BPL wit sustainable funding.
Being able to use the Library in person, and not just on-line, any day of the week is just one of the many ways the Bridgeport Public Library is working to be there for you.”
